Psychology Technician
We are looking to recruit a Psychology Technician to join our Business and Science School based at our London, Bloomsbury campus.
The position is ideal for someone currently completing or who has recently finished their PhD who’s looking for a springboard into a lecturing role.
As a Psychology Technician you will provide high-quality technical expertise and support to students, staff, and external partners for teaching-related activities (campus-based, distance learning, and collaborative) in the school. You will serve as a primary source of expertise in demonstrating the safe use of specialist psychological equipment, software, and techniques to students and staff.

“This role has been an incredible springboard for my career. I was supported to pursue further study and training, and the teaching experience I gained here has helped me step into a Lecturer position. The Psychology team is small, friendly, and really supportive, I felt part of the team from day one and was involved in meetings straight away.
The role is varied – one moment you’re setting up sessions, the next you’re helping a student troubleshoot a technical issue. It’s all about enhancing the student experience, which I found really rewarding. You’ll need to be adaptable and willing to get stuck into different software and systems, but it’s a great opportunity to build your skills – especially in computer science and teaching”.

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.
