Contract / Fractional Hours

Hours, working pattern, day rate and contract length are open to discussion.

We are looking for an experienced fractional Finance Director to provide senior financial leadership for a values-led charity. This is a flexible, high-impact role for someone who can combine strategic financial judgement with practical oversight of day-to-day finance, helping trustees and senior leaders make confident, well-informed decisions.

This is an executive part-time role working closely with the Chief Executive, Board and leadership team to ensure the organisation remains financially sustainable, compliant and able to deliver its mission effectively.

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.
