Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be supporting a wide range of varied and interesting work, and you will join the team at a critical time as the upcoming elections in Scotland and Wales will have a significant impact on the way we work, regardless of the result.
Based in the UK Frameworks Unit, this post plays a pivotal role in supporting our ministers and senior colleagues in engagement with the UK Government and other devolved governments on the Internal Market Act (IMA) and Common Frameworks programme. The Internal Market Act continues to present operational, constitutional and policy challenges across the Scottish Government and the post holder is responsible for a variety of engagement and policy deliverables to support teams as they navigate this landscape.

The role will be ideal for someone who wants to gain experience of working closely with a range of external government colleagues from across the United Kingdom as well as developing their expertise in devolution-related policy work and advising colleagues on the internal market implications of the forthcoming EU Partnership Bill.
As evidenced by CUKR’s results in recent People Surveys, we are a small, friendly division that aims to support each other and has a strong focus on prioritising health and wellbeing along with personal development. We expect the post-holder to contribute their own ideas to making it a great place to work and you will be given opportunities to grow and develop your skills within this role and gain valuable experience.
The UK Frameworks Unit comprises a C2 Unit head, 2 x C1 posts (of which the post advertised here is one), and 2 x B3 posts, one of whom will report to you.
