Would you like to work in a state-of-art purpose-built Nursery?

University of Staffordshire has their very own exciting and modern, Woodlands Day Nursery and Forest School worth over £4million.

  • The nursery is located on our Leek Road Campus and is set by our University Nature Reserve, adjacent to woodlands, yet very close to the city centre, with excellent local public transport links and employee on-site parking.
  • The facilities are a sustainable place of early years learning with connections to the immediate landscape and nature reserve.
  • Through the provision, children will get the opportunity to experience endless outdoor learning opportunities such as identifying nature, play-based learning, den building and forest art.

We are looking to recruit to a number of Level 3-qualified Early Years Educator Posts and would be happy to discuss full and part time positions for the right candidate.

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.
