The HGV Class 1 Driver Role
We’re now looking for a reliable and professional HGV Class 1 Driver to operate our regular night-time trunking route from our Avonmouth based distribution centre. This will involve a nightly changeover of tailers at Lytham St Ann’s (in Lancashire) returning to Avonmouth, where you may be required to move other vehicles to enable loading of other vehicles.
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.
