Design Services That Deliver Better Outcomes
Join Ealing Council's Impact of Commissioning Team and help ensure that commissioned services achieve the outcomes that matter most to residents and communities.
As an Impact Designer, you will work with commissioners, contract managers, residents and voluntary and community organisations to understand what creates positive change and how services can deliver greater impact.
- You will lead codesign activities, gather resident insight, map community strengths and test innovative approaches to improve outcomes.
- By bringing together lived experience, evidence and service data, you will help identify where services are succeeding, where barriers exist and what changes could deliver better results.
Your work will support commissioners to design and improve services that focus on outcomes rather than activity, ensuring that resident experience, equality and community impact sit at the heart of decision-making.
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.
