Graduate Management Trainee - Barnstaple
Your growth. Make it part of ours.
As fast-track routes to management go, few can be faster than our award-winning Graduate Management Training Programme. Through hands-on experience and excellent training, our Management Trainees can progress to Branch Manager in one of our retail operations in as little as two years. In fact, most of our senior leaders began their careers in this very role - including our current CEO.
From day one, we’ll invest in you. You’ll be in a supportive environment where you’ll take on real responsibilities and gain invaluable hands-on experience in customer service, sales, marketing, finance, operations, and more.
Our opportunities
After a classroom-based orientation session, you'll be based in one of our branches, gaining hands-on experience of our operation and learning the many valuable skills you'll need to manage a business. Everything from sales, marketing and account management to coaching, mentoring and leadership skills.
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.
