Senior Technical Architect | 3 Positions | £575/day | Northern Digital Hubs | No SC Required
Three newly requested architecture positions inside a major UK government department, and unusually for central government work, security clearance is not required to start. That single fact makes these three of the more accessible senior government contracts on the market right now.
The Role
You would be designing solutions across a large enterprise estate — product selection, integration patterns, and the architecture decisions that determine how services actually talk to each other. This is hands-on architecture rather than governance from a distance. The department has requested three of these positions at once, which tells you something about the volume of change going through.
Essential Requirements
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.
