Locum Consultant Vascular Surgeon
Locum Vascular Consultant – Six Month Position

The appointed consultant will join the 6 vascular consultants—Mr Paul Eyers, Mr Andrew Stewart, Mr Ian Hunter, Mr James Coulston, Mrs Katy Darvall, and Miss Natasha Chinai—to provide a Vascular Surgical Service for the population of Somerset and North Devon (circa 800,000).
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.
