Are you a creative and compassionate project leader with a passion for innovation? Join Being There and help transform how we support volunteers and deliver vital services to people living with cancer and life-limiting illness.
The Role
We’re seeking an Innovation Project Manager to lead the development of a new digital volunteer platform. This exciting role will involve managing the project from concept to delivery, ensuring it is accessible, user-friendly, and responsive to the needs of volunteers and service users.
You’ll work closely with staff, volunteers and partners to design, test and launch a platform that enhances volunteer experience and strengthens our services.
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.
