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.

What is a Sleep-In Shift?
Sleep-in care means that you stay overnight at the service so you are available to support residents if an unforeseen need arises during the night.
You will have your own bed, clean bedding and a private area where you can sleep. Sleep-in shifts are designed around the expectation that you will normally be able to sleep through the night, although you may be required to wake and provide support if needed.
