Job Description

About Scrumconnect

Scrumconnect Ltd is a technology consultancy that partners with organisations to deliver high-quality digital services and products. We specialise in user-centred design, agile delivery, and modern data platforms, helping our clients build solutions that are scalable, accessible, and impactful. Our multidisciplinary teams work collaboratively to solve complex problems and deliver meaningful outcomes through innovative technology and research-driven insights.

Role Overview

We are seeking a User Researcher to support the development and enhancement of a digital platform used by internal policy and analytical teams as well as relevant arm's-length bodies.

The successful candidate will plan and conduct research to understand user needs, evaluate how effectively those needs are currently being met by the platform, and identify opportunities for improvement. The research will help inform future development phases and explore engagement with additional user groups.

Location Requirement

This role requires mandatory travel to Newcastle 3 days per week for on-site collaboration with stakeholders and delivery teams.

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.
