As Operations Manager you will have a key role in a fast-paced operational function that is responsible for the effective planning and resourcing of inspection activity as published in HMIE’s annual programme of inspection. You will be crucial in ensuring that there are robust operational systems and processes in place that support the planning of all inspections and other work carried out by HMIE. You will lead a small team responsible for inspection logistics, resource scheduling, data management, and stakeholder liaison.

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.
