Alfreton Park School

Alfreton Park School is a lively and successful Special School for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with severe and profound learning difficulties.

About the Role

We are looking for a friendly, organised and adaptable Receptionist/Administrator to join our established team. Working primarily on our busy reception desk, you will be the first point of contact for pupils, parents and carers, visitors, contractors and external agencies, while providing a wide range of administrative support.

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.
