We are seeking a dedicated Nursery Practitioner to join our team in providing high-quality care and education for young children. The ideal candidate will have a passion for early childhood education and creating a nurturing environment for children to thrive. We are preferably looking for a professional who has a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Childcare but would consider an unqualified candidate with the right experience and who is willing to complete a qualification while working with us.

Our full time position would give you the opportunity of working up to full time hours (40 per week) over 4 days, giving you an extra day off each week to support your work-home life balance.

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.
