We are a small, dedicated team working in a dynamic and often fast-paced environment, and we are seeking an experienced Communication Content Manager to join us.

The Mission of the National Joint Registry
The mission of the National Joint Registry is to collect and analyse high-quality and relevant data about joint replacement surgery to provide timely warnings of issues relating to patient safety. In a continuous drive to improve patient outcomes and to ensure the quality and value of joint replacement surgery, we collect data to monitor and report on surgical outcomes, as well as to enable and support orthopaedic research. The NJR is one of the most influential healthcare registries in the world, with a significant international profile. Our strategy is overseen by the NJR Board, designated as an NHS England ‘expert committee’, that reports through the NJR Chair into NHS England.
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.
