Locum Head of Legal | West Midlands | October Start

We are seeking an experienced Locum Head of Legal to provide leadership and oversight within a busy law firm based in the West Midlands.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior qualified Solicitor with strong leadership experience to support legal operations, supervise legal teams, maintain regulatory compliance, and provide strategic guidance during an initial contract period.

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.
