Are you passionate about sport and student life?
Do you love finding creative ways to bring people together, solve problems, and make things happen?
Can your energy and ideas help students have an incredible university experience?
This role will be immersed in the delivery of our recreational sporting programme, both intramural and collegiate. These sporting programmes engage thousands of students across campus, giving them an outlet for their passions and helping them to develop new skills in the process. You’ll become part of an energetic team dedicated to supporting students make the most of their time at here through opportunities that have a positive impact on the University experience.
As part of an energetic and supportive team, you’ll collaborate with staff, students, and partners to design and deliver opportunities that make a real difference to student life. We’re proud of our commitment to inclusion in sport and are especially keen to hear from candidates with experience in growing participation among underrepresented or marginalised groups.
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.
