An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Pensions investment department in Resources. We need a senior Accountant to manage the financial accounting, reporting, and control of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) Pension Fund, ensuring compliance with the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations, CIPFA Code of Practice, IFRS, and all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.

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.
