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.

It searches the market for you

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Working Conditions

The post will be flexibly time-tabled to meet the demands of the service, and the timing of sessions may change as the service develops.
A typical week would consist of up to 10 Programmed Activities (PAs), including a minimum allocation of 1.5 SPAs for Supporting Professional Activities.
Additional SPAs will be available dependent upon service need.
There are additional PAs available for Education and Clinical supervision with 0.25 for first trainee and 0.125 for each subsequent trainee thereafter.
The Trust supports requirements for continuing professional development as laid down by the Royal Colleges and is committed to providing time and financial support for these activities.
Consultant Medical Staff will be required to participate in 7 day working as part of their normal working pattern.
Your normal working pattern will be agreed with you locally as part of your job plan and this may consist of shifts of variable working hours including evenings and weekends.
