Join Our Board: London Museum of Water & Steam Trustee Recruitment

About the Role

The exceptional London Museum of Water & Steam is seeking passionate individuals to join its Board of Trustees.

Our Museum is housed in a stunning Victorian pumping station in West London and home to some of the world’s most significant working steam engines. Our collections tell the inspiring story of how clean water transformed London—but we’re not just preserving history.

We believe in using our working industrial heritage to engage modern audiences with urgent questions around:

  • Water supply & sustainability
  • Clean-energy innovation
  • Industrial legacy in a low-carbon future

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.
