Connect Appointments is recruiting a Trainee Cheesemaker to join an established dairy manufacturing business based in Gifford.

This isn't a standard production role. You'll receive structured training across all key cheesemaking processes: from milk handling and pasteurisation through to culturing, coagulation, curd handling and maturation - progressing towards independent working as your competence develops.

What's on offer?

  • Ongoing temporary position
  • 4-on 4-off night shift, 10pm to 6am
  • 16.82 per hour - paid weekly
  • Structured on-the-job training with clear competency progression

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.
