Chef de Partie (30 Hours per week)
Are you the kind of chef who knows their ribeye from their rump, can sear scallops like a sea god, and believes béarnaise is a love language? Then we want you on our line.
Pearly Cow is an independent collection of grill restaurants in York, Margate and Brighton, were we serve up the most indulgent cuts of meat and the freshest fish in gorgeous settings, where you’ll feel right at home. Our kitchen is fast-paced, passionate, and just a little bit fiery (in the best way).
Please note this role is for a minimum of 30 hours per week.
Requirements
- A sharp knife and even sharper skills
- Experience in a busy kitchen (bonus points if you’ve danced with a lobster)
- A cool head under pressure and a warm heart for teamwork
- The ability to plate like Picasso and prep like a ninja
- A sense of humour and a love for York’s rich history and quirky charm.
- Reliability, punctuality, and a passion for hospitality.
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.
