Life at Active Vetcare Bracken Vet Centre

We have high standards of care and expertise carrying out advanced surgeries and working up complex medical cases. Our nurses' skills are valued and used every day; and we are always wanting to develop utilisation of schedule 3. We would welcome someone to be innovative with what our nursing team can offer and develop them further. Our practice is very well equipped, with two theatres, separate dental and separate imaging, separate dog and cat wards, a nurse consulting room and a large prep area. We are a progressive practice who are invested in providing the best care we can for our clients and their pets. Our availability of modern equipment and excellent facilities helps us to achieve this.

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.
