Modern healthcare is increasingly dependent on technology. CHEATA is based in Clinical Engineering at a large acute NHS Trust and supports medical technology innovators and manufacturers to gather the evidence needed for NHS adoption. CHEATA is a unique service that sits within the NHS and provides the MedTech industry with NHS insight and perspective on how to drive NHS adoption. A key part of the evidence base for medical technologies is the case for cost effectiveness as part of an overall device Value Proposition and this is a key service offering to CHEATA’s clients. The post will also support the NIHR-funded HealthTech Research Centre (HRC) for Rehabilitation.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the CHEATA team as a health economist and to help us support the MedTech Industry with NHS adoption and evidence. This is a fixed term contract until March 2029.

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.
