About The Role

Zero2Five are currently recruiting for a Qualified Nursery Practitioner to join a well-established Early Years setting near Edgbaston, Birmingham.

This is a permanent opportunity for an experienced and passionate Early Years Practitioner looking to develop their career within a supportive nursery environment that values its staff, recognises their contribution and puts children at the heart of everything they do.

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.
