Cover Supervisor
We are looking for a responsible, reliable and well-organised person who is both enthusiastic and adaptable to join our friendly and effective team to deliver lessons during the short-term or unforeseen absence of their usual subject teacher and to support teaching and learning across the school.
This is a varied and interesting role that requires confidence and presence to educate our students across all subjects. The successful candidate will also need to be confident in dealing with behavioural issues within the classroom.
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.
