The Job

You will be part of a dedicated team who provide all the necessary administrative support and practice management and are at the heart of the Council’s team of in-house Lawyers.

The post will be focused on processing payments of invoices, triaging and completing administrative tasks, preparation of bundles and processing documents for signature on behalf of the Council.
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.
