Are you passionate about participation and physical activity? Do you have the skills and experience to support the delivery of engaging opportunities that help people become more active?
We are seeking a Participation and Physical Activity Coordinator to help develop and deliver inclusive, accessible, and engaging opportunities that encourage students and staff to participate in sport and physical activity.
Working within the Physical Activity and Wellbeing team, you will play a key role in coordinating, designing, and evaluating programmes that support the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of our diverse university community. You will work collaboratively with colleagues across the Sport and Physical Activity Service and wider University departments to increase participation and remove barriers to being active.
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.
