About the College
Based in Catshill, Chadsgrove Educational Trust Specialist College is a further education provision for students aged 19-25 whose special educational needs arise from their physical disabilities and/or complex medical needs.

About the Role
We are pleased to announce that we have exciting opportunities to appoint additional Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) to complement our outstanding team.

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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The work of an LSA often involves the manual handling of students. Applicants therefore need to be physically fit and capable of working co-operatively within a multi-disciplinary team. It is essential that applicants are ambitious for our students, have the ability to empathise, can work positively with individuals’ needs, and are adaptable with a good sense of humour.
Previous experience of working with adults with a physical disability would be an advantage but it is not essential as a bespoke, robust training package will be provided. It is essential that you are willing to be trained to administer medication if necessary.
