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.
To be successful in this role you will come from a similar background, and have a professional or workplace qualification in psychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, sports therapy/rehab or a registered nurse, or perhaps you have recently graduated with a relevant degree.
If successful, you will be provided with mentoring support for up to 3 months and will be supported by 2 mentors to get you up to speed – we also support with biannual CPD days, regular clinical supervision and peer reviews.
Remote workers will be considered based on proximity to our office locations and are required to attend office days for CPD days, training and quarterly team meetings.
At Unum we have a whole range of benefits including professional subscriptions and qualifications, a performance bonus, pension, life insurance and income protection, but most importantly we are big on mental health and wellbeing for our employees and our customers, and if you are looking for flexibility in your working week then just let us know.
