We are looking for an exceptional candidate to join the Transport Policy Team. Following the adoption of our new West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan, you will work closely with internal teams and our district partners to support the development of a pipeline of transport programmes and schemes that will deliver a modern, reliable transport network, supporting the Mayor’s Weaver Network promise to deliver a well-connected West Yorkshire, including through bringing buses back under control, and delivering Mass Transit.

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.
