Opportunity to join our developing team of skilled golf course greenkeepers. You will assist the team in producing and developing our ever-improving site and will be involved in all aspects of golf course maintenance. We are looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking individual interested in pursuing physical outdoor work.

As an apprentice greenkeeper, you will be taught all aspects of golf course maintenance. You will use hand and powered tools and progress to ride-on machinery. We firmly believe that all of our staff should be capable of doing every task required on the course. You will not be stuck on one job; you will be given training and an opportunity on all aspects of the job. Your role will be extensively golf course based, but you may be asked to do some maintenance tasks around the clubhouse and our other facilities, all falling within the greenkeeping team's remit.

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.
