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.

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.

This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the disruption of Serious and Organised Crime and help keep communities safe across the North East and beyond.

The above duties and responsibilities give a broad outline of the function of the post. However, by necessity, these duties and responsibilities must be approached in a flexible manner to accommodate the changing needs and demands of the Research & Analytical function. The post-holder will be expected to adapt to changing circumstances and therefore the outline of duties may change from time to time. This is reflected in the grade of the post supplied by the vacancy holder for all roles.

We know it's important for you to feel that you're not only part of a great team, but part of a community. We welcome applications from suitably qualified people from all sections of the community, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.

Harnessing these differences creates a productive environment in which everyone feels valued, and their talents are fully utilised. Appointments are based on merit alone.

The recruitment process will consist of the initial application form followed by an assessment, presentation, and face-to-face interview. Just so you know, you can save your application and come back to it any time prior to the closing date on the advert.

We are currently recruiting for two Analyst positions within NEROCU: one in the Analysis Team and one in the Proactive Economic Crime Team (PECT).

If you would like to be considered for both opportunities, you must submit a separate application for each role. However, applicants who apply for both positions will only be required to complete one recruitment process. Results from the assessment process will be used to determine suitability for both roles.

We are proud members of the Business Disability Forum, with whom we collaborate with to improve the lives of disabled employees. We are also a Disability Confident Employer, therefore if you demonstrate that you meet the minimum criteria for this role as stated in the advert, we will progress your application and offer you an interview.

You can get in touch with us via careers@northumbria.police.uk for any support regarding the application process. Please provide us with plenty of notice so we can ensure your visit goes smoothly.

If your application is successful, we’ll ask you to complete a Management Vetting (MV)/ Security Clearance (SC) form, therefore you must be a resident of the UK for a minimum period of 5 years to ensure vetting checks can be successfully performed. A job offer will be dependent upon vetting clearance and medical information.

Terms of appointment

This is a permanent role subject to a six-month probationary period.
