Lead one of the most ambitious councils in local government.

North Yorkshire Council is seeking an exceptional leader to become our next Chief Executive.

Serving 640,000 residents across England's largest county, North Yorkshire Council is one of the country's newest and most ambitious unitary authorities. Three years on from local government reorganisation, we are financially resilient, high performing and nationally recognised for service excellence. Now we are looking for a Chief Executive who can build on these strong foundations and lead us into the future.

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.
