Job Description
Move how we work. Make your career count
When it comes to shaping how one of the UK’s largest organisations works, traditional HR can only take us so far. We need data that leaves no room for guesswork. Technology that keeps people and processes connected. And strategy that’s born out of insight. Exactly what our People & Places teams do every single day.
And as a People Science Graduate, you’ll be at the centre of it all. You’ll bring your genuine curiosity and analytical rigour to improve our ways of working, ultimately delivering better workplaces, better decisions and better outcomes. Alongside developing strong analytical expertise, you'll build the confidence to work with and influence a diverse range of stakeholders, translating complex insights into clear, compelling recommendations that drive action.
Two years. Lasting impact
Throughout this two-year scheme, you’ll rotate across a range of areas within People & Places – from data and experimentation to product design, strategy and people partnering.
Expect to:
- Work on meaningful projects right from day one
- Build the practical skills to influence decisions and challenge thinking in evolving environments
- Put your learning into practice through a hands-on approach across projects and rotations
- Add a unique blend of skills to your arsenal – including analytics, design, systems, stakeholder engagement and strategy
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Making powerful insights and recommendations the starting point of every decision

- Scoping for the skills that are needed not just today, but also tomorrow
- Being a trusted problem-solver that the leadership teams can always count on
- Partnering with colleagues and stakeholders across the business to understand challenges, build relationships and co-create practical solutions.
Skills that go where you do
By the end of the programme, you’ll have developed skills that’ll stay relevant throughout your career. These include:
- Using data to understand what’s really going on and make better decisions
- The ability to solve problems creatively through experimentation
- Understanding how systems, processes, and people connect to shape outcomes
- Communicating clearly to influence decisions and bring others with you
- Building trusted relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, adapting your approach to different audiences and priorities.
Opportunities that let you take the stage

- Present your ideas and insights to leaders, influencing decisions and building credibility with top senior stakeholders across the organisation.
- Collaborate closely with those who have been there, done that
- Get visibility and exposure across the business
- Explore all the paths in front of you before picking your specialisation
- Take ownership early, contributing to work that has visible impact on teams and the wider organisation
Your future. Fully backed
By the end of the scheme, you’ll have:
- A respected professional qualification
