During your application:
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. Our aim is for our workforce to be representative and for each employee to feel respected and empowered to perform at their best. All applications are welcome, regardless of background.
Guiding Your Application
- Authenticity is key
- AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can help with planning structure or editing—but your responses must remain entirely your own work.
- What to do: Brainstorm with AI, use spelling/grammar checkers, but ensure the final submissions reflect your genuine skills, experiences, and motivations.
- Why it matters: Submissions relying heavily on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. Applicants must certify honesty and self-created responses.
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.
