Role Details
We are offering an exciting five-month fixed-term opportunity to support academic programme teams in managing the delivery and improvements to the College of Business and Law (CBL) programmes. CBL is an ambitious College with student experience at the heart of its core values. You will support the College in areas such as monitoring and reporting on student engagement data, embedding inclusivity initiatives, and helping to organize and promote academic events.
In addition, you will support at least one College-wide improvement project. The role will appeal to anyone who enjoys working as part of an energetic team in a fast-changing HE environment. The 9-month term offers variety and plenty of opportunities to develop new skills as well as apply and hone existing ones.
About You
Applicants should be recent graduates comfortable with standard university’s IT platforms to provide rudimentary guidance to new students and produce basic reports.
You will be a confident communicator able to deal with and refer on queries where appropriate. Reflections on your own experience of university life will add to the culture of continuous improvement and student support.
You will be proactive, organized, and able to deal with competing demands and tight timescales. Training on the relevant IT systems will be provided as well as guidance through all relevant aspects of the department.
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.
