🧫 We’re hiring: Microbiological Analyst
📍 Horsforth, Leeds | Permanent | 37½ hours per week

An excellent opportunity for an experienced microbiologist to join our specialist microbiology testing laboratory in Leeds.
Working as part of a small laboratory team, you’ll carry out microbiological testing of wastewater and seawater samples, prepare materials and media, maintain accurate laboratory records, and operate a range of analytical equipment.
You’ll also play an important role in maintaining the quality and accuracy of our work, supporting the laboratory’s compliance with ISO 17025 requirements.

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.
