What you’ll be doing:
As Service Manager, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day leadership and management of two supported living services, where six young gentlemen live full, active and varied lives. Each person has their own interests, goals and aspirations, and you'll play a key role in ensuring they are supported to enjoy meaningful opportunities, develop their independence and remain active members of their local communities.
These are vibrant services where no two days are the same. Whether it's supporting people to enjoy holidays, social events or hobbies, you'll lead a culture that promotes choice, independence and positive risk-taking. You'll inspire your team to think creatively, encourage new experiences and ensure every person is supported to achieve the outcomes that matter most to them.
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.
