About the Role
The Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC) works with mature, part-time and foundation-level learners, especially where this enables participation of people from groups that are under-represented in higher education.
This is an exciting opportunity to work as PA to Senior Managers within the Lifelong Learning Centre. Reporting to the Operations Manager, this important and varied role will focus on diary management, servicing meetings, internal communications and operational aspects of HR and the staff recruitment processes.
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.
