About Camden

We’re home to the most important conversations happening today and we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.
What You’ll Be Doing

You will have effective partnership working arrangements with all key stakeholders and foster a spirit and culture of partnership in adult social care across London. You will identify issues that require cross-borough attention and London level work in your portfolio.
You will lead a portfolio of projects with a focus on commissioning, market management including work around learning disabilities and autism, data and performance management and digital innovation in adult social care. You will also lead a London wide programme of activities relating to equalities, diversity and inclusion, including embedding coproduction more fully into all the work of the branch.
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.
