Over the course of an engaging one-week programme, you'll get hands-on exposure to life at Scrutton Bland, working alongside experienced professionals and developing a practical understanding of the industry. You'll gain insight into the wide range of career opportunities available, build your confidence in a professional environment, and discover what it's really like to work in a leading professional services firm.
If you're eager to learn, explore your career options, and gain meaningful workplace experience, this is the perfect opportunity to get started.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
A Bit About Our Programme
Every year, we host our work experience weeks across our offices in East Anglia.
Our Colchester work experience week is taking place between the 13 and 17 July and applications are now open!
Our work experience programme is open to everyone, but in particular:
- GCSE students
- A-level students
- Undergraduates
- Anyone looking to start a career in accountancy
The timings of the day run between 10am to 4pm, and applicants will need to be available to attend these sessions in person which will be held in our Colchester office.
What Can I Expect During Work Experience?
You will spend the week as a group, gaining insight into all key business areas, including Accounting, Audit, & Tax, hearing first-hand experience from our current students, who will share their journeys in the world of professional services so far and be able to understand what a role in each of these areas looks like, so that when it comes to applying for a full time position, you'll know exactly what you can expect.
