Data Architect and Engineering Lead
We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Data Architect and Engineering Lead to play a pivotal role in the development of a modern data platform, that underpins reporting, analytics, and decision-making across clinical and corporate services.
The role will provide leadership for the Trust’s data architecture, ensuring that high-quality, trusted data is available to support better patient outcomes, service improvement, and organisational performance.
This role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact by combining technical leadership and transformation within an organisation where data is increasingly central to delivering high-quality healthcare services.
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.
