This is an exciting opportunity within Windsor Academy Trust. We are looking for an outstanding Teaching Assistant who wants to make a difference to the lives of young people at Windsor Olympus Academy (Olympus). You’ll need the commitment and passion and energy to make our vision for Olympus a reality in the local community.

Olympus is our brand new free school that opened in Sandwell in September 2023, recruiting 180 students from Sandwell and Birmingham. The school caters for students aged 11 to 16. It opened with Year-7 students only, as a six-form entry school. Olympus will grow year-on-year to provide education for 900 students after five years. This is the next opportunity to join our amazing team as our students now progress into their KS4 study. You will be at the very front of architecting the environment, infrastructure and pathway to success.

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.
