Job Description
Are you able to engage young people to help them Unlock their Potential?
We have an exciting opportunity for a lecturer to join a small and dedicated team during a period of growth. Applicants will need experience and relevant qualifications to deliver across a range of employability-based programmes. The ideal candidate will be a qualified teacher. However, we would consider newly qualified or unqualified teacher with the willingness to train.
You will be working with learners aged 16+ who may feel uncertain about their future direction. Learners within our department require more than just education. They need encouragement, stability, and someone who believes in their potential. An essential requirement for this role is a strong and thorough understanding of social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, ensuring that each learner is supported with empathy, consistency, and care.
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.
