Are you an experienced social care leader with a passion for improving the lives of people with a learning disability?
NHS Wales Performance and Improvement is seeking a Learning Disability Senior Improvement Manager to play a leading role in delivering the ambitious transformation of learning disability services across Wales. This role is central to the implementation of the Welsh Government's vision for improving outcomes, transparency, and community support for people with a learning disability.
This is a unique opportunity for someone with a strong background in social care for people with a learning disability in Wales to influence change at a national level. Working across health, social care, and partner organisations, you will lead improvement programmes that strengthen integrated services, support community-based care, and improve outcomes for individuals, families, and carers.
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.
