The Opportunity

An award-winning, design-led planning and architecture consultancy is looking to appoint an Assistant Town Planner to join its Oxford studio.

This well-established practice is recognised for its creative and collaborative approach, combining planning, architecture and urban design expertise to deliver high-quality development schemes across the UK. Their portfolio includes residential, mixed-use and regeneration projects, often with a strong emphasis on placemaking and design quality.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking consultancy where planning is fully integrated with design, offering exposure to unique and design-driven projects.

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.
