The role of a board member
As a Board Member, you will contribute to setting the strategic direction of the organisation, providing constructive scrutiny and supporting effective governance. You will bring your skills and experience to help ensure the organisation continues to deliver impact, uphold people’s rights and drive improvement across the sector.
We value very highly the benefits of having different experience and points of view on our Boards and we are keen that people from all walks of life apply for public appointments. Scottish Ministers particularly welcome applications from women, disabled people, LGBTI+ people, people from ethnic minority communities and people aged under 50.
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.

Location
There are four formal Board Meetings per year usually held in the organisation’s headquarters in Dundee, however, meetings can occasionally be held elsewhere. Board meetings are held in public. In recent times, meetings have been held virtually. Although, going forward, the expectation is that the work will be a blend of virtual and physical meetings, a physical presence will be required to be able to carry out the full range of Board activities.
