Organisational Development Manager (Band 7)
We’re looking for an experienced Organisational Development Manager (Band 7) to join our People Directorate. You’ll support the design and delivery of organisational development interventions that strengthen culture, team effectiveness, leadership capability and colleague experience across the Trust.
Working closely with the Head of Organisational Development, HR colleagues and services across the organisation, you’ll provide OD consultancy and practical support to help teams and directorates respond to local priorities. You’ll design and facilitate development activity, support change and improvement work, contribute to leadership development, and use insight and feedback to shape effective interventions and evaluate impact.
The postholder will provide specialist organisational development support across the Trust, using diagnostics and evidence-based approaches to design and deliver interventions that improve culture, team effectiveness and organisational performance.
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.
