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.

Qualifications

We are not necessarily looking for formal qualifications (although they do help) as we will support the right candidate to develop their skills and be the best they can be. If you have the following, then you might be a good fit for Puddle Lane:

  • Communication skills. Our children love singing, dancing, and just learning from the team.
  • Listening skills: You will learn a lot in a short time. You will need to be able to listen and learn fast.
  • You will be curious. The successful candidate is likely to be curious, always wanting to know and learn more. This is what makes you the best you can be, and the children will benefit the most from it.
  • You will have a vivid imagination. You will be confident that you can keep the children safe, smiling, and secure at all times. This means thinking outside the box to provide the best experience possible.
  • You will be a caring person. You are going to spend lots of time with children and you’re going to be so important in their early years’ development.
  • You are committed to completing the Modern Apprenticeship (and SVQ) as part of their terms of employment.
