Job Description & Summary
About the role:
PwC has the UK's largest Local Public Services consultancy team. We are currently working with Councils, Housing Associations, Charities and devolved Governments across the country.
These include increasing our Local Public Services team within the Enterprise Transformation (ET) Consulting Practice. The Enterprise Transformation team are passionate about working with and helping our Local Public Services (LPS) clients to transform the way they work at the organisation-wide level.

We support our clients by using evidence and organisation-wide operating models enabled by technology. We also focus on transforming within the functions of our clients such as Social Care and Housing.
As a Manager you’ll work as part of a team of problem solvers with extensive consulting and industry experience, helping our Local Public Services clients solve business issues from identification to full implementation.
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.
