We are seeking a Lecturer to join our team. In this role you will deliver engaging and innovative skills training to a diverse range of adult learners, including unemployed adults looking to improve their existing skills and employed or self-employed adults seeking to gain new skills or upskill.
You will design and deliver a range of short programmes, including SWAPs, employability and upskilling programmes, as well as formal qualifications, bespoke courses and workshops.
Delivery will take place across a variety of settings, including college campuses, Job Centres and community organisations. A key part of the role will be to build learners’ confidence, provide support and encouragement, and help them progress into employment, develop their careers or achieve their upskilling goals.

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.
