This popular restaurant group is seeking an Executive Chef as it prepares for expansion over the year ahead and beyond. This is an exciting opportunity to join a founder-led business and play an instrumental role in its next phase of growth.
The menu is centred on quality steak and grilled dishes. While the concept is already well defined, there is scope to refine and expand the offering further.
You’ll work closely with the Operations Director on strategy, new sites, kitchen design, recruitment, and the ongoing development of senior chefs. The Executive Chef will be expected to be hands-on in the kitchens when needed, particularly while immersing themselves in the role.
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.
