About the Role
Client: HM Prison and Probation Service
Location: HMP Bullingdon

What Is It Like to Work Here?
Someone Like You
There’s no typical prison officer—our team comes from diverse backgrounds, just like the offenders they work with. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, retail worker, or former service member, the same qualities are needed:
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.
