About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Service Designer to help shape and improve services that support the wellbeing and future opportunities of people across Wales. Working at the heart of our transformation agenda, you'll use user insight, evidence and service design methods to create seamless, inclusive and bilingual services that meet both user needs and organisational objectives.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead strategic and operational change across services, systems and ways of working. Collaborating with colleagues and stakeholders across the organisation, you'll design end-to-end service journeys, influence decision-making and drive continuous improvement to ensure our services remain accessible, effective and focused on delivering the best possible outcomes for customers.

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.
