Software Developer (Lake District)

£50,000+ (plus enhanced benefits, incl. Leisure & Golf Club membership)

At CGP, we develop all business systems and digital products from our offices on the edge of the beautiful Lake District. Why do it all ourselves? The answer’s simple. It’s all about high standards and trust — we need to have total trust in our systems, products and people to ensure we deliver annual sales of c. £40m.

Who are we looking for?

If you’re an experienced developer with C# experience (ideally in an Ecommerce environment) who’s knocking on the door of a senior position, this could be just the role for you. We’ll take all the usual skills for granted — SOLID design principles, Agile delivery methods, MVC and MVVM. The hard bit is finding the right sort of person to join the team.

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.
