About Somerville

Since 1971, Somerville has been a place where children and young people can play freely, take risks, build skills, and grow together. Today we are building on that legacy to create a youth-led hub of creativity, adventure, and community care.

Somerville is at an exciting stage: with a strong foundation of funding in place, we are broadening our offer around young people's own ideas and passions.

The Role: Senior Youth Worker

The Senior Youth Worker will bring this to life day to day, with an ethos of adventure play and high-quality, reflective youth work practice. The role will work closely with the CEO and will combine direct delivery with supporting the development of a positive organizational culture, leading a team of youth workers, safeguarding oversight, and strategic leadership of our youth offer.

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.
