Early Years Practitioner (full time, all year round) – Hamilton College

An opportunity has arisen for an Early Years Practitioner to join our vibrant Nursery. The successful candidate should be able to interact effectively with children and work successfully within a small team. We are looking for applicants who can show initiative and independence of thought and action, within the school’s policy framework.

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.
