Oculus Recruitment Opportunity

Oculus are working with an established Legal 500 law firm looking to appoint a Family Director into a strategic leadership position.

This opportunity would suit an experienced Family Partner, Head of Department or Senior Family Solicitor seeking a role with significant autonomy, influence, and responsibility for the continued growth of a successful family law offering.

The successful candidate will combine leadership responsibilities with a high-quality caseload of privately funded family matters, while playing a key role in business development, team growth, and long-term strategic planning.

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.
