Job Title: Senior Health Economist

Are you passionate about using economics, data, and evidence to improve health and care? The Health Economics Unit is seeking a talented Senior Health Economist to join our growing team and contribute to impactful projects across the NHS, academia, and industry.

About the Role

In this role, you will undertake hands-on economic modelling, real-world evidence analyses, and evaluations to support healthcare decision-making, innovation, and service improvement. You will work on a diverse range of projects including digital health, population health, health inequalities, service transformation, and healthcare innovation, applying advanced analytical methods to address complex healthcare challenges.

  • Responsibilities:
    • Develop economic evaluations, budget impact analyses, return on investment models, and other analytical approaches using healthcare datasets and published evidence.
    • Contribute specialist expertise in economic modelling, outcomes research, and quasi-experimental evaluation methods.
    • Work closely with clients, clinicians, commissioners, and other stakeholders, communicating complex findings clearly and contributing to reports, publications, and presentations.
    • Collaborate with leading experts from across the NHS, academia, and industry.

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.
