Konker is recruiting for a Part 1 Architectural Assistant to join a lively architectural practice based in York's City Centre!
This RIBA Chartered Architectural practice is continuously growing and now requires an additional Part 1 Architectural Assistant to support the team.

They have now grown to 20 staff and are based in their brand-new office that overlooks some historic landmarks in York.

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.
