Location: Wallsend, England, North East
Pay Rate: £14.50 - £15.00 per hour
Job Type: Temporary
The Role
We are currently recruiting for Machine Operators to join a busy manufacturing environment in Wallsend. The successful candidates will be responsible for setting up, operating, and monitoring machinery while ensuring all work is completed in line with company quality standards.
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.
