For a complete understanding of this opportunity, and what will be required to be a successful applicant, read on.
We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established Secondary Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) in Sandwell, seeking a dedicated Food Technology Teacher to join their committed team on a full-time basis. This is a rewarding opportunity to work with secondary-aged pupils who require additional support to re-engage with education.

- Create a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment where students can thrive.
- Build positive relationships with pupils, helping to improve engagement, confidence and achievement.
- Work collaboratively with teaching assistants, pastoral staff and the wider multidisciplinary team to support student progress.
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.
