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.

About The Role

Your Responsibilities
Please see the attached job description for the full responsibilities of this role.
What We Are Looking For
Sir John Deane's seeks to appoint an enthusiastic teacher to contribute to the work of this thriving department.
The Mathematics Department is the largest in the College with outstanding outcomes in all three subjects offered: A level Mathematics, A level Further Mathematics and A level Statistics.
We welcome applications from both early career teachers and teachers with experience. A Level experience is not an essential requirement. We are seeking to appoint an individual with a strong academic background in Mathematics, who loves to teach and who has a passion for all aspects of the subject. The successful candidate should have the ability to teach both A level Mathematics and A level Statistics. An ability to teach another A level subject for example: Further Mathematics or Computer Science would be welcomed, but this is not a pre-requisite for the successful applicant.
