The complaints team is passionate about the customer journey and works collaboratively to ensure every customer feels heard, supported, and valued. You’ll be surrounded by a team that genuinely cares about doing the right thing and takes pride in delivering positive outcomes, even in challenging situations.

Alongside this, you’ll have the opportunity to work within a hybrid model, offering flexibility while still benefiting from the support, energy, and connection of the wider team.

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.
