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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

We are seeking applicants with clinical experience in urological oncology. Previous experience with novel oncology therapies, clinical research delivery and coordination, and knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the regulatory requirements governing clinical research would be advantageous but is not essential, as comprehensive training and support will be provided.

It is expected that the post holder will work flexibly across other research speciality areas as service requirements dictate throughout the duration of their contract.

They will contribute to the provision of a clinical research service based normally at the location of the employing organisation (UHCW NHS Trust), however, travel to other sites may be required as per study requirements or set out under contractual agreements for the delivery of a local cross cutting clinical research service.
