Are you an experienced, highly organised and proactive business manager with a strong background in governance, performance, assurance and corporate support?
We are seeking a motivated and professional individual to join the Chief Nursing Officer Office as Business Manager, supporting the delivery of key priorities across the Chief Nurse Division.
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of the nursing, midwifery and allied health professional leadership team, providing senior operational and corporate management support to the Chief Nursing Officer, Deputy Chief Nursing Officer and wider NMAHP Senior Leadership Team. The role will support the effective coordination of divisional activity across quality, workforce, performance, assurance, commissioning and strategic priorities.
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.
