Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
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.
Key Features
- Consults: 20 minutes as standard, ensuring a comprehensive overview and allowing for more rapid case workups and/or more involved case discussion with clients.
- Work Schedule: Full-time work is spread over 4 days with a set day off each week. Weekends consist of a share of a 1:7 Rota with a long weekend the following week. There is no on-call but occasional stable inpatients may be kept overnight.
- Facilities: The bright, air-conditioned surgery is purpose-built to industry-leading standards and has state-of-the-art equipment, including a dedicated operating theatre, digital X-ray/in-house laboratory/ultrasound, and dentistry facilities.
- Personal Development: Actively encouraged. The practice is willing to invest in you and equipment to develop any specialist areas of interest. Full support is available for those who have recently graduated or need help with confidence in developing their skills.
- Salary: Dependent on experience. As part of the Pets at Home group, we also have access to an excellent package and great benefits that include competitive salary and exclusive company discounts and rewards - including 20% off at Pets at Home and the Vet Group.
Additional Benefits
- We are looking for the right people so the role can suit anyone as we can evolve it around you!
