Business Support Manager
We have an exciting opportunity for a part-time Business Support Manager to join our South and South East Fostering service, based from our Salisbury office. This is a key role providing high-quality administrative, operational and team support to our Fostering Managers and wider fostering teams.
You will oversee the day-to-day running of business support activity across the service, ensuring administrative processes are well organised, accurate and responsive. This will include minute taking, report writing, office coordination, and maintaining detailed oversight of financial transactions, including carer payments and general enquiries.
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.
