Exceptional people. Work that matters. Let's talk.
At Inner Circle Consulting (ICC), we believe the best consultancy starts with a deceptively simple question:
What will make the greatest difference to people and communities?
Inner Circle Consulting is focused on supporting the public sector and its partners to navigate complex challenges and deliver purposeful change. We work with local authorities, combined authorities, housing associations, and others, bringing trusted expertise and innovation to co-design and deliver people-focused services, place-based outcomes, inclusive growth, organisational transformation, and prevention of future problems. Our approach builds long-term capacity and capability so people and places can thrive and enjoy better futures right across the UK.
Financial sustainability, transformation, place, assets, regeneration, health, care, digital, and economic growth rarely exist in neat isolation. We bring together diverse disciplines and fresh perspectives to understand the whole system, get beneath presenting problems, and help our clients develop solutions that work in the real world.
Looking ahead
As we prepare for our next phase of growth, we're anticipating significant opportunities to support clients across:
- Local government reorganisation & devolution
- Financial sustainability & organisational transformation
- Health, adult social care & children's services
- Digital & technology-enabled transformation
- Regeneration, assets & place-making
- Economic growth & investment
- Operating models, organisational design & service redesign
- Complex programme & delivery leadership
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.
