Due to continued expansion, both in the UK and abroad, George Scott Racing is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Head person to join our successful and progressive team at Eve Lodge Stables in Newmarket.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of an ambitious operation with runners at the highest level both in the UK and internationally.

The Role

Working closely with George Scott, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the yard, ensuring the highest standards of horse care, staff organisation, and stable management are maintained.

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.

It searches the market for you

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
