SCHOOL VACANCY
Archbishop Holgate’s School is looking to appoint a School Assistant to support students within our internal alternative provision (Ascent) fostering a positive working environment, so that students are engaged, on task and able to access the curriculum as fully as possible.
We believe that Archbishop Holgate’s is ‘no ordinary school’ and is an excellent place to work, a view confirmed by excellent Ofsted and SIAMS inspections over the past two decades.
Our staff are friendly and supportive and our students are polite, hardworking and keen to succeed. As such, this post represents an exciting opportunity to join a very successful, high-achieving, forward looking and fully-subscribed Church of England comprehensive school.
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.
