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.

Role Description
We require a Trauma and Orthopaedic Consultant with an interest in general trauma. The appointee will work as part of a team of dedicated orthopaedic trauma surgeons in a Major Trauma Centre serving a catchment population of 3 million and with a substantial tertiary workload, and in a district general hospital which is consistently ranked among the top hospitals for hip fracture surgery nationwide.
It is anticipated that this appointment will provide specialist orthopaedic trauma surgical care for our patients suffering with major and multiple injuries, and the full range of surgical care for proximal femoral fragility fractures including total hip arthroplasty. This is integral to this appointment and applicants will need to demonstrate fellowship level training in complex Orthopaedic trauma surgery. We are looking for an applicant who is a team player and has relevant experience in both the management of complex trauma surgery and hip fracture surgery.
Responsibilities
The appointee will be expected to participate in the on-call rota and may be required to work on any other site as required by the OUH Trust in the future.
