PR Manager - Independent School
Immediate start | 6-month contract | Primarily onsite SW London | £50k
An exciting opportunity for a confident, proactive PR Manager to support the launch of an exciting new destination in South West London.
This flagship school is set within a historic location with exceptional facilities and is preparing for its grand opening next year. You will play a key role in bringing the school to life in partnership with senior leadership and the Marketing & Admissions team.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can build profile, generate press coverage and deliver high-quality communications around a major launch. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to shape the story, manage media activity and support a programme of events.
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.
