Interim Head of Finance - 6-12 Month FTC - Part-Time - 3 days per week - Circa £55,000 FTE - Stockport - Hybrid

Our client is a growing charity based in Stockport and we are seeking an Interim Head of Finance for a 6 to 12 month FTC to join the organisation in an important period of change, providing strong day-to-day financial leadership while supporting its wider strategic and commercial priorities.

This is a broad and varied role requiring someone who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting into the detail as they are providing financial insight to senior leaders and the Board.

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.
