Consultant - Development, Learning and Skills
We’re seeking a consultant to join Development, Learning and Skills within the People Function on a 12-month Fixed Term Contract.
This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the build, deployment, and maintenance of the Nationwide AI Academy – our organisation-wide approach to developing AI capability for leaders, specialists and all colleagues.
You’ll support the end-to-end coordination, planning, reporting and continuous improvement of AI and broader learning programmes such as the AI Specialist, helping to embed capability at scale and drive measurable impact.
You will support the AI Academy as a core capability platform, helping to:
- Build and operationalise learning pathways (e.g. AI for Everybody, AI Leaders, AI Specialists)

- Track, measure and improve adoption, engagement and outcomes
Alongside this, you’ll support wider organisation-wide learning delivery roll out and coordination of the AI Specialist programme ensuring it is well governed, insight-led and continuously improving.
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.
