About the Company

Working exclusively with this leading SEN college and residential care provider, Dedicate Recruitment is seeking an experienced Finance Manager to lead on all aspects of the management accounts function.

About the Role

The Finance Manager will be a key link in building strong relationships with suppliers, professional advisors and statutory bodies. Overseeing a team of five, the Finance Manager will direct the financial operations, produce management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, and financial controls. Working closely with senior leaders and external advisors, you'll also support strategic initiatives including acquisitions, capital projects, and long-term financial planning and support the Payroll Manager with current payroll legislation.

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.
