There’s never been a better time to join the team at Cycling UK!

We have an ambitious strategy and we want you to be part of it.

There are loads of reasons to love cycling, even if you’re not someone who cycles. From cutting pollution, to making us healthier and happier, cycling can help us all thrive.

As our Media Relations Manager you will have a huge impact on Cycling UK, helping to generating awareness of the charity and its work, changing perceptions and communicating the positive impact cycling can have on people’s lives, as well as managing Cycling UK’s reputation through crisis communications.

You will manage the press office (including day to day, out of office press and crisis communications) and lead on the creation and implementation of media relations plans, building effective relationships with journalists in support of Cycling UK’s aims and objectives.

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.
