Company Description
Rocket Productions Ltd, originating in London and now expanding globally, designs innovative early years schools grounded in experiential learning and creative pedagogies. For over 17 years, Rocket has focused on cultivating academic strength, curiosity, and collaboration through intentionally curated learning spaces and high-quality materials. The organisation’s ambitious curriculum and design-led environments are crafted to inspire joy, possibility, and meaningful engagement. The Rocket Approach, an early-years pedagogy shaped by research and practitioner inquiry, emphasises depth over speed, creativity over conformity, and fulfilment over pressure. Through rich learning experiences that nurture body, mind, and heart, Rocket prepares children for their next schools and for life with confidence, care, and responsibility.
Role Description
No two days are quite the same, but the role broadly covers:
Finance & Administration
This is a significant part of the role. You’ll oversee the day to day financial administration of the school, from invoices and funding to payroll information, budgets, and payment records. You’ll need to be confident with numbers, systems, and spreadsheets and exceptionally good with detail. You’re not simply supporting the school. You’re helping to run it.
SAFEGUARDING
Rocket Productions is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and the successful candidate will be subject to all appropriate safer recruitment checks and required safeguarding training.
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.

Admissions & Parent Experience
You’ll manage the journey from a family’s first enquiry through to their child joining Rocket. You’ll build genuine relationships with our parents and be someone they know, trust, and can come to. We expect a high level of service and communication that is always personal, responsive, and professional.
School Operations
You’ll work alongside the Head to keep the school running brilliantly. Staff rotas and cover, calendars, resources, contractors, facilities, and the many things that come up in a busy school all fall within your world. You’ll need to be able to prioritise, make decisions, and keep a lot of moving parts moving.
Events
Rocket loves an event and we don’t tend to do things by halves. Christmas, Halloween, Sports Day, charity days, parent events, and school celebrations are all part of school life. You’ll help take the ideas and turn them into something brilliant, managing the organisation and detail that makes it all come together.
Supporting the Head & School Team
You’ll work closely with the Head and be an important link across the school. This is a collaborative role. We need someone who shares information, supports the people around them, and steps in when something needs doing. There will always be things that don’t sit neatly within a job description. At Rocket, everyone is prepared to roll their sleeves up.
That breadth is at the heart of the original Office Guru role, which combines registrar, parent liaison, Head support, staff communication, school management, events, and finance.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Someone who is:
- Exceptionally organised. You can have a lot going on without letting things slip.
- Brilliant with people. You’re warm, confident, and know what great service looks like.
- On it. You notice things, remember things, and don’t need to be chased.
- Collaborative. You communicate well, help the people around you, and understand that everyone contributes to making the school work.
- A problem solver, not a problem raiser. Your instinct when something goes wrong is to work out what we can do about it.
- Responsible. If it’s not right, fix it. If you say you’re going to do something, do it.
- Good with detail. You’re comfortable with numbers, spreadsheets, systems, and the less glamorous bits that still need to be done properly.
- Willing to learn. You’re curious, open to new ways of doing things, and happy to learn the systems or processes you don’t already know.
- Ambitious about your own standards. You want to do a really good job and are always looking at how things could be done better.
You’re not simply supporting the school. You’re helping to run it.
If that sounds like the kind of role you’d thrive in, we’d love to hear from you.
