Senior Health Economist (Associate, contract, remote, UK)
We need a health economist who can take a real NHS pathway and turn it into a model a trust will use. This is a named associate role on a short UK assignment in acute care and diagnostics, from autumn 2026 into early 2027 if the work is commissioned. About 40–45 days. You lead the economics.
You will:
- Build a tool a trust can run with its own data
- Design the model and the costing
- Set out outcomes, uncertainty and what the numbers can and cannot support
- Write the technical report with the clinical adviser
- Join regular working discussions with subject-matter experts
You will already have:
- A postgraduate qualification in health economics
- Published applied analysis in a healthcare setting
- Recent work with NHS costs, outcomes or diagnostics
- Enough seniority to be named as lead economist
- Infection, AMR or sepsis work is a plus
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.

Clinical Adviser, Infectious Diseases and Microbiology (Associate, contract, remote, UK)
We need a consultant who still sees infection on the ward and can tell an economist which assumptions a hospital will not believe. This is a named associate role on a short UK assignment in NHS infection services and diagnostics, from autumn 2026 into early 2027 if the work is commissioned. About 8–12 days. You advise. You do not write the model.
You will:
- Map the clinical pathway with the health economist
- Agree which infection outcomes belong in the analysis
- Challenge parameters that look neat on a spreadsheet and wrong on a ward
- Join regular expert discussions
