We are looking for a full-time member of staff to join our busy pre-training yard in Lew, Oxfordshire.

Lew House Stables is steeped in racing history from producing Grand National winners to Champion Hurdle winners. Many Grade 1 winners have passed through Lew House Stables. The yard and facilities have been renovated to a very high standard with a two-furlong circular gallop, a unique indoor jumping lane, an indoor school, high quality schooling ground and over 300 acres of off-road hacking. Marcus Foley and his team work alongside top trainers including Nicky Henderson, Charlie Longsdon, Ben Pauling, Warren Greatrex, Eve Johnson Houghton, Jamie Snowden and Tom Symonds.

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.

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.

Applicants must be able to carry out normal yard duties, be able to ride well, and be good with youngsters. The role includes opportunities to ride, jump, and school top quality racehorses. There will also be opportunities to develop your riding skills further with the guidance of Marcus Foley, former National Hunt jockey.
