The role will pay a day rate of £250 to £275 per day through an umbrella company depending upon experience and will require presence in the office 2-3 days per week.
This is a full time role (5 days per week) and following significant organisational change will support the other team members as an additional resource. The ideal candidate will be an experienced OD / L&D Adviser who has worked in organisations who have gone through major change in the Higher Education sector or wider public sector and who is keen and capable, with a "can do", positive approach whilst being sensitive to the environment.
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.
