Looking to get into fundraising?

WR Fundraising Recruitment has an exciting opportunity to join one of the region's most respected charities as a Fundraising Assistant.

Providing a range of support to the fundraising team, this is a role that offers so many new fundraising skills, from prospect research, to writing small grant applications and supporter stewardship.

We’re looking for someone who has an interest in working in fundraising, who perhaps doesn’t have the experience, but has the capability to work flexibly and get stuck in to a varied workload.

Full Time, Permanent

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.
