The role

We’re looking for a compassionate and practical Bioservices Technician to join our Bioservices team at the Moredun Group.

This is a hands-on role working primarily with farm livestock, requiring prior practical experience in agricultural animal care. You’ll work with a range of animals and equipment. This role offers a strong focus on learning and development, with hands-on training involving a variety of agricultural animals and machinery.

This is a full-time position; however, part-time applications will also be considered.

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.
