Company Description
Richard Barrie is a predominately trade supplier of curtains, blinds, and accessories. We are based in St. Helens, Merseyside, but offer flexible hybrid working.
Role Description
This is far more than a traditional admin role – it's an opportunity to make a real impact across the business and shape the position around your strengths and interests.
You'll be involved in a variety of areas, including:
- Finance – daily reconciliations, credit control and purchase ledger
- Purchasing – sourcing stock and building strong supplier relationships
- Working closely with our directors and colleagues across sales, operations, and customer service, as well as suppliers, customers, and logistics partners.
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.
