We’re looking for a Senior Consultant to join our expanding Public Sector practice. You will work within secure government organisations, delivering projects that improve services relied upon by millions across the UK. As we continue to grow our Public Sector practice, there will be exciting opportunities for you to make a meaningful contribution.
By joining the Public Sector practice, you’ll become part of a close-knit, supportive team that combines consulting rigour with a practical, common-sense approach. We believe great work happens when talented people are given the opportunity to make a real contribution.

- We trust our people. You will be given greater responsibility, supported to develop, and encouraged to contribute your ideas from an early stage in your career.
- We don’t celebrate unnecessary long hours.
- We have a collaborative, down-to-earth culture that values integrity, strong relationships, and diverse perspectives.
- We enjoy working together and make time to come together through team socials, informal catch-ups, or Fridays on our London office terrace.
What You Will Do
As a Senior Consultant, you will:
- Lead workstreams on complex transformation and delivery programmes.
- Engage diverse stakeholder groups, from technical delivery teams to operational end users, building trusted relationships with clients.
- Deliver practical solutions that create measurable outcomes for clients.
- Develop your consulting skills through training and engaging with the wider Alchemmy community.

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.

How To Apply
Our recruitment process consists of three interviews designed to assess your experience, strengths and motivations, while giving you the opportunity to learn more about Alchemmy and the role.
If you are excited by the opportunity to help public sector organisations navigate complexity and deliver lasting change, we would love to hear from you.

Alchemmy
We’re an agile, experienced and diverse team of analysts, strategists and consultants. Our clients are also diverse. But when transforming their businesses, they always want a partner they can trust. To help them maximise value, we bring the human touch, as well as our experience and deep knowledge of best practice.
Our clients pay for results, not consultancy. They get to design, develop and implement change successfully, embedding and sustaining the right vision for their business. We supercharge their ability to really move the dial on change, while grappling with the day-to-day demands of their work.
Why do we do it? Because we love it. It’s challenging and exhilarating work. Many of us have experienced the impersonal ‘big consultancy’ approach. We want to get alongside our clients, get stuck in, and help them deliver great results instead. This is the Alchemmy Difference.
