Interim School Improvement Partner
We are seeking an exceptional Executive Secondary School Improvement Leader to provide strategic and hands-on leadership across two secondary mainstream schools based in the East Midlands. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced secondary leader who can operate confidently at executive level, drive school improvement, and work alongside senior leaders to deliver sustained improvements in outcomes, curriculum and leadership capacity.
You will have a strong track record within secondary mainstream education, ideally with experience of executive headship, multi-site leadership or working across a group of schools. Experience of working with Ofsted/HMI and inspection processes would be highly desirable. You will work closely with the CEO, Deputy CEO and School Advisory Board, providing expert challenge, support and leadership across multiple sites.
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.
