Mountjoy School PA to the Head Teacher
Mountjoy School is seeking to appoint a new PA to the Head Teacher, with additional Responsibilities.
This role involves overseeing the admin team here at Mountjoy School and supporting the Head Teacher.
Although this role is entitled "PA to the Head Teacher" a large part of the job is in fact dealing with HR processes, queries and matters. Confidentiality and the ability to hold challenging conversations is essential. Being a people person, able to communicate well, and listen well is also a must. The role would therefore suit someone with both strong HR and admin experience.
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.
