About first direct
Firstly, you’ll be joining an award-winning bunch of “people,” dedicated to giving customers the best possible banking experience. If you’re a customer service expert, perfect.

What’s the job?
In a nutshell, you’ll be helping our customers with whatever they need – giving them the confident, friendly, human support first direct is so well known for.
- You’ll need to be able to really listen to the customer’s requirements with empathy, understand their needs and provide them with best support by clearly communicating the right information and solutions to help them, ensuring they leave the call knowing they have received a top-notch service.
- You’ll also be comfortable following set processes and confident working with technology.
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.
