- Drive digital transformation and service improvement, leading system development, change programmes and implementation of new or enhanced digital solutions.
- Provide operational and people management of a small team, ensuring systems and processes effectively support caseload management.
- Support financial and programme performance, including the Disabled Facilities Grant budget and countywide IHAT programme, through robust data reporting and analysis.

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.
