ARU’s research institutes and four faculties bridge scientific, technical and creative fields.

About The Role
Based within our School of Medicine on the Chelmsford campus, you will join a team of Senior Lecturer Practitioners to design and deliver our innovative Professional Skills curriculum for undergraduate medical students in Years 1–3 of the MBChB programme. This developing curriculum sits alongside our established Clinical Skills theme and plays a central role in shaping future doctors. It focuses on building core competencies such as communication, clinical reasoning, and personal and professional development, ensuring our graduates are well prepared for the complexities of modern medical practice.
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.
