We're Hiring | OFSTED Head of Partnerships - Growth, New Business & Strategic Relationships

Midland (Hybrid Working & Extensive Travel)

Up to £70,000 per annum

Full-Time, Permanent

Are you a strategic partnerships or business development leader with experience across children's social care and/or education?

We're seeking an ambitious Head of Partnerships to drive organisational growth through the development of high-level relationships, strategic partnerships, and new market opportunities. This is a senior leadership role focused on identifying future opportunities, influencing key stakeholders, and creating sustainable routes to market rather than simply responding to existing demand.

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.
