Assington Autos

Assington Autos was established in 2017. Since then, the company has grown and expanded and has increased the fleet.

A vacancy has arisen for an experienced Recovery Driver Class 1 at our Assington yard (Suffolk):

As Assington Autos continues to grow, we have an opening for a Recovery Driver at our Assington site in Suffolk. The role of the Recovery Driver is to collect scrap/damaged vehicles covering all areas and all makes and models.

This role will suit someone with high levels of energy and ambition, who is extremely self-motivated and can complete the task.

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.
