Introduction

We aim to make every day the best day possible for our patients and their families in South Devon.

This volunteer role is essential, as you’ll play a key part in supporting Rowcroft’s newest commercial House Clearance venture. By taking calls, recording callers’ details, and logging them on our EPOS booking system, you’ll help grow the House Clearance service and generate vital funds for the Hospice.

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.
