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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Casual staff are sometimes required at short notice, often early in the morning and (for operational reasons) are required to either live within the Salford boundary, or be able to reach a collection/drop off point within the boundary. It is necessary for applicants to live in or near Salford. The nature of the role allows flexibility to fit around your other commitments. This is a challenging role but one that is highly rewarding and fun.

Casual staff can progress to permanent posts as these become vacant, as permanent posts are filled by casual staff who wish to be considered.

About The Role

You will be responsible for escorting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) from their homes to school or college.

You will be required to be available for work before and after school, on a casual basis, term time only.
