Business Development Manager
📍 North West England, UK | Hybrid & Travel Required
Transforming Support is a specialist supported living provider supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs across the UK. As we continue to expand across the North of England, we are looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Business Development Manager who can help us identify opportunities, generate referrals, develop strategic relationships with commissioners, and support sustainable business growth.
This is not a desk-based account management role. We are looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, opening doors, identifying opportunities and working with Local Authorities, Integrated Care Boards, Case Managers, Housing Partners and Commissioners to help people access high-quality supported living services.
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.
