What They Say!
-
Lucinda (Senior Vet – Medicine & Imaging Certificate holder): "I feel so lucky to work in an environment with so many kind and talented people. Everyone genuinely cares and wants to deliver high standards of care for our patients. This job has allowed me to work hours that fit around my two small children which has been invaluable."
-
Karen (Senior Vet, Exotics Interest): "I never thought that I would say that I love working in a pet shop environment, but I do, and I have been here 10 years now! It’s a vibrant place to be, lots going on in the shop and the vets. The staff are amazing, happy, cheerful and very professional. We work as a team to sort cases efficiently and with the best care possible."
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

- Chelsea (Veterinary Surgeon, undertaking surgical certificate): 'I joined the team early on in my veterinary career and from day one I was met with incredible support. It has been a pleasure working alongside such knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely kind colleagues. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a workplace that genuinely supports career growth and promotes continuous learning within a positive and encouraging environment.'
Our Facilities:
Work in a purpose-built, recently renovated practice equipped with all the mod-cons, including digital X-ray, ultrasonography, in-house laboratory facilities, and separate wards for dogs, cats, and isolation cases. With a loyal client base and approximately 35% insured clients, you’ll have the resources to provide the highest standard of care.
What We’re Looking For:
We are looking for someone who is passionate about going above and beyond in their role. You may be a consulting only vet. We don’t have certificate holders in dermatology, cardiology or ophthalmology currently, so an interest or further qualification in these areas would be great but is not essential. If you’re a good all-rounder, then we would still love to hear from you too! We could accommodate a day of surgery every week so that you keep your surgical skills up to scratch. It may be that you have time off rota to conduct medicine, skin or heart work ups instead. Someone who can bring new ideas and suggest areas for improvement is always great. Most importantly we are looking for an individual who cares deeply for their patients, wants to do the best for their clients and who work well within a team.

- Salary: £45,000 - £65,000 (dependent on experience)
