The Opportunity - Estate Painter and Decorator
Join the Estate Maintenance Team
A new opportunity for a highly skilled painter/decorator has arisen on the renowned organic, 3,100-acre Daylesford Estate on the Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire border.
Working across the Estate’s diverse collection of properties, you will play an important role in maintaining and enhancing our buildings and surroundings to the highest standards. From historic buildings and private residences to estate offices, cottages, and agricultural properties, no two days will be quite the same.
We are looking for a team player with a can-do attitude and the ability to work under their own initiative, who takes genuine pride in their work and has an exceptional eye for detail.
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.
