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.

About the role
At Borough Care, we believe every day is a chance to brighten someone's life. As a Care Home Cook, you'll play a vital stand-alone role in our care home not just preparing meals but creating a warm and enjoyable dining experience for our residents.
You will prepare and serve meals to meet our residents' specific needs and deliver a high-quality service. Our main and light meals are supplied as frozen ready-prepared meals which require reheating, garnishing, and presenting well. You will also provide light breakfasts, freshly made soups, and sandwiches and will have the opportunity to use your creativity when catering for our events and residents' birthdays.
You will also maintain stock control and support our carers at meal-times by assisting residents who cannot eat independently.
About you
If you have catering experience, enjoy working independently, and care for others, why not join an organisation that is committed to providing individualised care and helping people live their best possible life. Make a Real Difference One Meal at a Time.
