Shropshire Council,

We are currently finalising the development of a new recruitment system and are therefore unable to receive applications for this vacancy.

Our new recruitment system will be live on Monday 7th September, at which point an online application can be submitted.

Role Summary

The successful applicant will be responsible for carrying out a range of duties within the agreed programme of work for Internal Audit Services. This will include the provision of high-quality advice, information, analysis and interpretation of a range of governance, risk, counter fraud and internal control measures that will underpin an effective control environment within existing business areas and in new innovative areas of major importance to the Council.

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.
