We are working with a growing organisation operating across football, education and youth development, looking to appoint a Programmes Coordinator in the East Midlands as the business continues to expand across the UK.
This is a hands-on operational role supporting the smooth running of community-based sports programmes. You'll work across programme planning, delivery and administration, coordinating with coaches, participants, venues and other stakeholders to ensure activity is delivered to a consistently high standard.
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.
