We’re looking for a Barback to join the team at The Old Queen’s Head.
The Old Queen’s Head is an award-winning North London pub that moves between great food, proper pints and late nights. We serve one of the area’s most popular Sunday roasts, we’ve recently launched our in-house pizza concept Hot Saint, and our club room hosts DJs and late-night parties throughout the week.
It’s a pub with a lot going on. Great drinks, good music and a lively crowd. We’re looking for someone hardworking, positive and full of energy who enjoys the buzz of nightlife and wants to be part of a fast-moving bar team. If you like busy rooms, good music and being part of the action, you’ll feel right at home here.
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.
