🚨 L3 Training Manager – Defence | Bristol / Abbey Wood
I’m currently recruiting for an experienced Training Manager to support a major Defence capability introduction programme.
📍 Location: Abbey Wood / Bristol – 2–3 days onsite per week
💰 Rate: £300/day Inside IR35
📅 Contract: October 2026 – March 2027
🔐 Clearance: Active SC required
The Role

You’ll take ownership of the training workstream, working across training needs analysis, design, governance, readiness and transition into service.
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.
