About the Role

This is an exciting temporary role to support the Programme Manager and Project Managers in delivering on the Council’s Homelessness Strategy, with objectives around homelessness prevention, temporary accommodation improvement, supported housing pathways, and wider housing-related support initiatives.

The post holder will assist in the coordination, monitoring, and delivery of key homelessness projects across the city, ensuring high standards of partnership working, operational effectiveness and service user engagement.

This is an opportunity to develop project management and multi-agency working skills in an area of the council which can have a real impact on citizen’s lives.

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.
