Description
Ready for your first step into kitchen management? We're looking for a Junior Sous Chef to join the team at The Wayfarer. The Wayfarer in Stone is a much-loved gastropub where everyone's welcome to pull up a chair – known for its Sunday roasts with proper Yorkshire puddings and its beautiful Coral Room. Our kitchen mixes pub favourites with the chef's international dishes, plus a rotating 'Throwbacks' menu of past favourites.
Here's what we offer:
- Up to £14.00 per hour (Approx. £1,790 every 4-weeks or £23,300 pa)
- Shared Service charge (Avg. £5,820 pa)
- Total Potential Package = £29,120 per year
- Part time – 32 hours a week: solid, regular hours with a better work-life balance
- Your first step into kitchen management, fully supported
The role
You'll work alongside your Head Chef and Sous Chef to run great services, keep standards high and start building the leadership skills to take your career further.
What you'll be doing:
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.
