Are you an organised, customer-focused administrator looking for a role that makes a real difference to public safety? We are seeking a Firearms Licensing Administrator to join our dedicated Firearms Licensing Team.
This is a unique opportunity to work within a specialist environment, supporting the lawful administration of firearms, shotgun, explosives, dealer and club licensing. You will play a vital role in processing applications, providing advice to customers, ensuring compliance with legislation and national guidance, helping to protect our communities while delivering an excellent service.
Hybrid working is available once training is completed.
If you are a permanent member of staff applying for this role, please note it will be offered on a secondment basis. Important: All secondments must be supported in writing by your Line Manager and Head of Department/Commander or Deputy. Please attach written approval from your line manager and Head of Department in your application. If the secondment is not supported then the role may be offered on a fixed term contract basis, but this has implications including loss of continuous service protections.
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.
