Are you practical, hands-on, and proud of creating welcoming environments? We are looking for a dedicated individual to join our Premises Team on a flexible contract to help keep our academy looking its very best.
This is a varied and rewarding role. Alongside helping to maintain a clean, safe, and tidy academy, we are particularly keen to hear from candidates with excellent decorating experience. Keeping our campus fresh and well-presented can sometimes feel like painting the Forth Road Bridge - there is always something to do!
In this role, you will take ownership of site painting and decorating projects, managing everything from surface preparation to achieving a high-quality finish. Additional duties include routine maintenance, janitorial tasks, and cleaning services, ensuring all work areas remain safe and organised.
The ideal candidate can resolve problems independently, prioritise tasks effectively, and take pride in delivering top-tier workmanship. To be successful, you should demonstrate strong literacy and numeracy skills. Previous experience in painting and decorating is essential, whilst experience in caretaking, or the building trade is desirable.
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.
