About the Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has become available to secure a post in one of the country’s best middle schools. The Governing Body wishes to appoint a Teaching Assistant on a part-time and temporary contract until 31.08.27.
We are an oversubscribed, very popular school, and our school community is committed to excellence. Our pupils are motivated to learn, and their behaviour is outstanding (Ofsted November 2024). In June 2025, the school was also awarded the School of Character Kitemark plus.
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.
