Reasons to use Rodeo

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The practice
Based in the heart of the community, as a standalone site we see a varied caseload with a high proportion of insured clients. We are exclusively small animals predominantly cats and dogs with the very occasional rabbit and other small furry.
We are passionate about high quality care and service. We have all the usual equipment plus dental x-ray, laparoscopy, endoscopy, Kyon TPLO equipment, harmonic scalpel and K-laser. We aim to keep the majority of our caseload in house, but we are within 45 minutes of a quality referral hospital if needed. We would be keen to develop a candidate's own interests with certificates encouraged and funded.
We are currently working towards being a zero pain accredited practice, so an interest in being involved and promoting this would be advantageous.
What Your Day Looks Like
The clinic is open from 8am-7pm weekdays, we are currently closed on a weekend. Bank holidays are worked on a rota basis.
- Our diary is well managed. Each vet gets at least 1 op day per week.
- Our standard consult length is 15minutes, with 30minutes available for certain appointments.
- We have on the day and emergency appointments available and there is a catch up slot scheduled every 60-90 minutes and allotted time for phone calls.
We believe in a good work-life balance so we can accommodate a somewhat flexible rota, but generally you will have a set weekday off every week and get an early Friday finish 1 in 3. Leaving on time is prioritised so your day will always finish with time allocated to finish notes etc.
