Role context
NCT, the National Childbirth Trust is the UK’s charity for pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. For nearly 70 years, we’ve been alongside women and parents, offering trusted information, practical support and building communities.
We’re here for every parent, to help them feel confident, connected and safe. We are best known for our award-winning antenatal classes, but we also do much more. We campaign on issues that matter to parents, provide infant feeding support, and run thousands of free community events and activities led by our amazing volunteers. We also support families facing challenges like social isolation, feeding difficulties, and poor mental health. We offer support in communities, in hospitals and online. Last year we supported 250,000 parents on their unique journeys through pregnancy, birth, infant feeding, and early parenthood.
Role Purpose
We have been commissioned to deliver a programme of work including infant feeding peer support and a breast pump loan service for families throughout the Hackney region.
We are seeking a capable service delivery manager who is passionate about supporting parents and infant feeding to lead on this project. This role will be responsible for the continued development of the project and service delivery.
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.
