About the Role
Tired of corporate sales targets? Put your customer service skills where they truly matter at Citizens Advice Lincoln & Lindsey.
We don’t sell products—we change lives. Every day, our team supports over 9,000 local people facing critical challenges, from securing essential housing to accessing financial entitlements.

Why This Role Stands Out

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.
