Looking for a well-paid HGV Class 2 driving job with a great work-life balance?
Driver Hire Bournemouth & Salisbury is recruiting an experienced HGV Class 2 (Category C) Driver for a respected and established client based in Christchurch, Dorset.
This is a temp-to-perm opportunity, giving you the chance to secure a permanent role with an excellent local employer after a successful temporary period.
No previous Ro-Ro experience? No problem. Full training on Ro-Ro hook loader equipment will be provided.
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.
