Help shape the systems that support some of our most important services
We're looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Senior System Ops Analyst to join our Systems Support Team within the Council's ICT & Digital Delivery Service. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical expertise with problem-solving, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement.
You'll play a key role in supporting and developing the critical business systems that underpin Adult Social Care, Children's Services, and Education, helping to ensure our services can continue to make a positive difference to residents across the borough. As part of ICT & Digital Delivery, you'll work at the heart of the Council's digital transformation agenda, helping to deliver technology solutions that enable services to operate efficiently, effectively, and sustainably.
About the role
As a Senior System Ops Analyst, you'll be responsible for the administration, support, development, and enhancement of large-scale business systems. Working closely with colleagues, partner organisations, and third-party suppliers, you'll help drive the continual improvement of critical business systems. From managing upgrades and releases to developing reporting solutions and providing expert support, you'll work collaboratively with stakeholders to ensure technology effectively supports service delivery and organisational priorities.
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.

This is a particularly exciting time to join the team. You'll play a key role in supporting the delivery of the Families First programme, a major transformation that will reshape how Children's Social Care and partner agencies work together to support children, young people, and families. The programme will bring significant changes to processes, ways of working, and the systems that support them, giving you the opportunity to influence and help deliver large-scale system developments that will have a lasting impact on services across the borough.
No two days are the same. One day you might be leading the testing and implementation of a major system upgrade, while the next you could be analysing user requirements, designing new solutions, developing training materials, or supporting a complex technical issue.
You'll also have opportunities to lead projects, mentor colleagues, and contribute to the modernisation of services through innovative digital solutions and improved business processes. Whether supporting transformational programmes such as Families First or delivering continual service improvements, you'll be at the forefront of helping the Council make the best use of technology to improve outcomes for residents.
