About Verto
Verto is on a mission to provide the best possible start to college. We make travel and experiential education a core part of the first year, enabling students to begin their academic journey overseas before transferring to one of 70+ partner universities in the United States.
We are building a more accessible, more impactful model of higher education. We are a fast-growing, mission-driven organisation creating transformational global experiences.
About the Role
Verto Education UK is hiring Resident Assistants (RAs) to be based in London, England, for the Autumn 2026 programme (October–December).
The RA serves as a facilitator to encourage a positive and welcoming, healthy and safe, cooperative, and considerate living environment. The RA also assists with students' personal concerns and helps manage conflicts that may arise in the residential area. Therefore, an RA is expected to be someone who cares about residents and continuously strives to make the residence a safe, valuable, and educational place to live.
In addition to supporting students and colleagues, RAs focus on creating positive and valuable communal environments for students living within the student residences.
This role is a live-in position with night and weekend responsibilities and participation in an after-hours on-call rotation. The accommodation package includes a fully furnished single-occupancy studio within the student accommodation location. The studio includes access to a fridge, freezer, basic cooking utensils, and a stovetop for meal preparation.
The Resident Assistant reports directly to the Student Success Manager.

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.
