This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the UK's highest-performing police forces at a pivotal moment for both the organisation and the communities we serve.

At the same time, we continue to drive forward an ambitious culture and organisational change programme, focused on strengthening public trust and confidence through a customer centric approach to policing, developing an inclusive and supportive workplace, and embedding the highest standards of leadership, professionalism and service.

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.
