You will carry out research and analysis on changes to housing policy and legislation, as well as local priority areas and make recommendations for local policy changes. You will gain insight through the gathering of customer and stakeholder feedback to inform your recommendations for service change.
You will work closely with all other teams within the housing service whose primary focus is to prevent and relieve homelessness.

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.
