Swindon Borough Council are on an exciting journey to transform service delivery. We want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.
Your next role
As a Senior Technical Specialist and Business Analyst, you will play a key role in supporting Swindon Borough Council's Adult Social Care service by ensuring the effective use, development, and continuous improvement of the Liquidlogic and ContrOCC platforms. Working as a trusted technology and business partner, you will help the Council maximise the value of these critical systems, enabling efficient service delivery, improved user experiences, and better outcomes for residents.
The role requires a strong combination of technical expertise, business analysis skills, and stakeholder engagement. You will work collaboratively with Adult Social Care teams, business stakeholders, system users, suppliers, and colleagues across ICT to understand service requirements, identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver solutions that support evolving business needs and strategic objectives.
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.
