About the Role
We're creating a new team dedicated to delivering and improving the digital products, tools and services that colleagues rely on across Oxfordshire County Council.
The team will bring together product, delivery and technical expertise to create practical solutions that help colleagues work more efficiently, reduce manual processes and improve the experience of using technology across the organisation.
This is an opportunity to help shape a new capability, influence how we work and contribute to a culture that values collaboration, learning and continuous improvement.
As a Software Developer, you will work closely with services across the council to design, build and support digital solutions that make it easier for colleagues to do their jobs.
Using Microsoft Power Platform and other development technologies, you'll create applications, workflows, automations and integrations that help streamline processes, improve access to information and reduce administration.
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.
