The Connect to Work programme is funded by UK Government and managed nationally by the Department for Work and Pensions. It is a new and exciting programme to assist economically inactive individuals to secure sustainable employment through a supported employment model. In Flintshire, the programme will be delivered by commissioned contractors operating within a wider network of partners.
The successful candidate will be educated to graduate level or equivalent in a relevant field. You will have significant demonstrable experience and knowledge of managing contracts ideally in a related sector. The ability to thrive in a complex stakeholder environment, confidently manage governance and assurance processes and drive a commitment to continuous improvement is essential.
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.
