About the RCN
There is more to the RCN than you might think. We’re a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them. We exist to make a positive difference – to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care. Our employees are drawn from many walks of life – we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… together we are so much more. We couldn’t do what we do without our people.
The Role
As our Regional Service Administrator, you’ll use your enthusiasm, your positivity and your customer service skills to deliver an exceptional service to our members.
In this varied role every day will be filled with possibilities. You will get involved in anything from providing admin support for member and officer enquiries and casework, including diary management to supporting planning and delivery of regional events, branch meetings, conferences and campaigns. We'll look to you to complete a variety of tasks on a day-to-day basis, involving both internal and external stakeholders. You’ll be a key member of the team and the first point of contact to help support our membership.
The Person
As a Regional Service Administrator, you’ll use your positive attitude and your administrative skills to support the regional patch teams, as well as meeting demands of tight deadlines and a fast-paced work environment.
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.
