Role Overview
CEG Digital wishes to recruit a full-time Academic Team Lead for an online MSc Psychology conversion programme launching in January 2027, delivered in partnership with the University of Southampton and accredited by The British Psychological Society (BPS), subject to approval. The postholder will help appoint and lead a team of teaching fellows, consultant tutors and consultant supervisors, who together are a consistent presence in the modules to which they are assigned and will be the first point of academic contact for online students. Additionally, the Academic Team Lead will be required to support students through project supervision and personal tutoring and, together with wider stakeholders, have responsibility for the success of the programme overall. This will include undertaking subject-specific research to inform delivery and engage in promotional activity as well as student-facing community events. The role will be primarily online on a remote basis (UK only), with occasional campus and head office visits to engage in offline activities.
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.
