Shropshire Council

Shropshire Council are looking for a suitably experienced Debt Recovery Officer to provide efficient and effective recovery of sundry debt and adult social care charges as a member of the Councils Debt Recovery Team.

The Debt Recovery Team sits within Finance. You will be joining a professional and supportive group of colleagues. The work within the team is interesting and varied, especially given the diverse range of services provided by the Council. The team prides itself on helping its staff to grow and progress within their careers and we have several examples of team members that have gained qualifications and moved onto more senior and leadership roles within the team.

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.
