LGR Programme Manager/Director

Location: Derby
Contract: Until 31 March 2028
Hybrid – 2/3 days per week onsite

I’m currently recruiting for a Programme Director – Local Government Reorganisation (LGR).

This is a brand-new, high-profile role leading strategic coordination and assurance across the Derbyshire LGR programme, working with the Chief Executives of all ten councils and senior political and organisational stakeholders.

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.
