Join us at an exciting time
The 3-18 Education Trust is growing. As our family of schools expands, so does the ambition and reach of our central team – and we are looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to support our Director of Inclusion and Director of People at the very heart of that growth.
This is a rare opportunity to work directly alongside two Trust Directors, gaining genuine insight into the strategic work of a successful multi-academy trust while playing a real part in delivering our strategic pillars of Belonging, Equity and Success.
(This is a three year fixed term contract, in the first instance, in line with grant funding).
About You
You will be a highly organised, proactive administrator with excellent attention to detail and the confidence to communicate professionally at all levels. Experience in education or HR administration would be an advantage, but what matters most is your professionalism, discretion and commitment to getting things right. Full training and support will be provided – including in specialist areas such as the Single Central Record and safer recruitment.
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.
