Job Title: Quality Director

Location: Yorkshire

Salary: To £65,000

Benefits: Car Allowance + wider benefits package

We are working with an established UK nursery provider to recruit a Quality Director within their Yorkshire team. Responsible for quality and compliance across 3 nurseries, with ambitions to double in the future, you will take ownership of Ofsted readiness, curriculum standards and safeguarding across the region, working closely with the Regional Manager and nursery managers to embed a shared standard of excellence. This is a varied and exciting role where you will be afforded the opportunity to shape the quality framework for the region and genuinely influence policies and procedures. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to build a quality function from close to the ground up, not just maintain what's already there.

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.
