The job in one line
You set the energy and the pace of the day, keep the team and the school on the same page, and make sure every student leaves having learned something and enjoyed it.
Who you will be working with
PET-Xi delivers innovative, multi-award-winning programmes in schools across the country, for students from Primary through to GCSE. For 30 years we have supported over 300,000 learners nationwide to get the results they deserve.
You will work alongside our curriculum delivery experts in a team of three. The lessons are written and the materials are there. What the day needs from you is someone to lead the room.
What the job asks of you
- Be the class motivator. Lift the room and keep it lifted. Making the lessons fun is the method, not a bonus.
- Set the pace. Keep the session moving so every group gets through the content and nobody is left behind.
- Hold the room. Support classroom delivery and behaviour management with the rest of the team.
- Be the school’s point of contact. Liaise with the school contact so the day runs the way the school expects.
- Complete the course admin. Accurately and on time, so the record of the day is as good as the day itself.
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.

There are things you will need: professionalism and excellent timekeeping, an understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries, an enhanced DBS on the Update Service, and a commitment to ongoing training and development. What matters just as much:
