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.

A Typical Shift Overview

Your shift begins at your local depot, where you’ll load sharps bins along with any fails and returns. Once everything is secured, you’ll set off on your nightly route to our Swadlincote depot.

When you arrive at Swadlincote, you’ll unload the vehicle and dispose of the sharps bins in the appropriate container. You’ll then follow the fails and returns procedure, handing over both ambient and chilled items to the team on site. After that, you’ll assist with sortation, complete the final scanning, and help with loading vehicles for onward deliveries.

Once everything is complete, you’ll return to your local depot. There, you’ll unload your vehicle and sort packages into their designated routes, ready for our network drivers to continue the supply chain.
