Start: ASAP

If you like contract work, like working for top public sector organisations, and value work-life balance with a genuinely great team — this one's for you. We're urgently hiring a QA Engineer to join one of the UK's largest and most impactful government programmes, with an ASAP start. Roles on programmes this high-profile don't come up often — and this one's moving fast.

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

  • 🌳 BPSS clearance required (or ability to obtain)
  • 🌳 Solid automation testing background using Selenium/Playwright
  • 🌳 Hands-on experience with Cucumber (BDD)
  • 🌳 Previous Government/Public Sector experience essential
  • 🌳 Confident working in agile, sprint-based delivery teams
  • 🌳 Only occasional travel to Newcastle (once per sprint) — genuinely great work/life balance

This is a brilliant opportunity to bring your automation testing expertise to a mission-critical government programme, working alongside experienced engineers on high-visibility deliverables that make a real difference. And if you've got what it takes to land this one, you can be confident you'll be well looked after — BPSS-ready automation testers with this profile are in short supply, and we know how to take care of the people who have it.
