Are you interested in making a real difference to a dynamic York-based charity? We are looking for a new trustee to work with our existing Board of Trustees. If you have experience in Finance at a senior level we'd be interested in talking further, if you have previous experience of Finance in a charity, Housing Association or social purpose organisation even better!

Being a charity Trustee is both rewarding and a great development opportunity. If you'd like an initial chat with either the Chair or CEO please email e.thompson@wilberforcetrust.org.uk

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.
