Senior Costing Officer

To act as a senior costing officer within the OUH Research & Development Costing Team to ensure that research activities which involve the use of NHS Trust resources are considered, costed, and adequate funding secured in line with local and national costing policies. This will involve making sure all research activities are costed within the rules of the appropriate funding organisation, or follow the national costing process. In addition, the costing activity must be completed to time and target to meet the national 150-day metrics for study setup for research. The senior costing officer will also cost National Contract Value Review research projects for OUH as a lead site.

Research is one of the key activities in OUH's World-Class Impact strategic theme, alongside education and innovation.

The Research & Development Department supports researchers in planning, set-up and conducting research across the Trust at all levels. The role of the teams is to support and facilitate high quality research, and to ensure that the interests of participants, researchers and the Trust are protected, through adherence to the local and national regulatory frameworks.

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.
