About The Role
We are seeking enthusiastic Associate Lecturers to join our Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship team within the School of Management. You will deliver high-quality teaching across a range of management and business modules to apprentices studying alongside their employment, using a blend of face-to-face and online delivery. Working closely with Module Leaders and the wider course team, you will facilitate engaging learning experiences, assess student work, provide timely feedback, and support apprentices in applying academic learning to real workplace challenges. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of future managers through an employer-focused, practice-based curriculum.
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.
