About the Role

We are looking to recruit a dedicated team-player to assist the Taught Programmes team in fulfilling its commitment to support every aspect of the student journey. Working as part of a team of administrators, this key role supports the Programme Directors, Year Tutors and Heads of Department with high level administrative support in the day-to-day delivery of programmes within the School. This post requires any individual with the ability to effectively co-ordinate the administration of programmes using influencing and negotiation skills to ensure the facilitation of a professional service to both staff and students.

The post-holder will be required to work their contracted hours on campus.

Your expertise in Microsoft Office applications will enable you to produce high quality documentation efficiently and track each stage of the student journey, reporting and supporting as necessary.

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.
