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.

In this role, you'll be initially training in and then running a Timpson store in Bristol. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include serving customers with key cutting, watch and mobile phone repairs, engravings, shoe repairs, photo processing, dry cleaning and many other services.

Training may require travel across parts of the area and within Bristol - this is paid!

Lack of experience is not an issue for us, as every single colleague is given in-depth training from their very first day. You'll be walked through exactly how things are done, as we offer a fun, valuable learning experience that quickly teaches you the new skills you'll need to succeed. Well set you on the path for a successful and rewarding career, and then show you how to excel at Timpson!

Who we're looking for:

There's only one thing that really matters to us when hiring new colleagues: personality.

Your personality is more important to us than any qualifications or previous experience, and the people that succeed with us are positive, friendly and keen to learn new skills. We look for people who are confident, chatty and presentable, and have amazing communication skills that help us wow our customers with their hospitality.

Our services are as diverse and interesting as our amazing colleagues. We recruit from all walks of life, all genders and ages, and were extremely proud to be one of the largest employers of ex-offenders in the UK.

We're proud to be the largest service retailer in the country, but what really makes the Timpson Group so special is our culture. We wouldn't be where we are today without the great people working in our shops, so we give our colleagues total authority to do whatever is necessary to amaze our customers.

This is what we call upside-down management, where we show trust in our colleagues by giving them the freedom to run their shop however they see fit. You'll be entering a work environment that really lets you push yourself, play to your strengths, and go home at the end of each day knowing that you've made a real impact.

Timpson is always looking for great people with great personalities, and this exciting new role is a fantastic opportunity to join our team. If you are interested in helping people, varied work and progressing your own career, then this could be the right role for you!

Since first opening our doors back in 1865, we've remained a family-run business focused on providing outstanding customer service, caring for our colleagues, and offering an inclusive environment with genuine opportunities for people of all backgrounds.
