Location: Essex, UK

Application Requirements:

  • Have achieved a 2:1 undergraduate degree in any subject
  • Right to work in the UK unsponsored for the duration of the programme

About the Role

Join a high-profile public-sector transformation programme where your work will directly support the improvement of essential community services. As a Graduate PMO Consultant, you’ll gain hands-on experience at the heart of a complex organisational change initiative - the kind that shapes how services such as housing, community support, and local operations are designed and delivered.

You’ll be part of a fast-paced environment where strong governance, smart planning, and effective risk management make a tangible difference to how local services evolve. Alongside the Grayce Development Programme, you’ll also receive additional CIPFA-aligned training to deepen your understanding of public-sector delivery, finance, and governance - a standout advantage early in your career.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to build PMO capability while also contributing to work that has genuine social purpose.

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.
