π Be the Difference That Children Remember π
Children rarely remember meetings, reports, or the professionals around the table.
They remember the people who showed up.
The people who listened when things felt difficult.
The people who celebrated their successes.
The people who stayed alongside them when life became challenging.
At Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, we're launching an innovative Edge of Care Residential Service and we're looking for Residential Care Officers to join us on this exciting journey.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iβm in my final year doing Economics and I donβt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer β it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donβt need a masters. Letβs look at the ones youβd 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 β that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
