Front of House Assistant – The Hartley Arms (Restaurant & Private Functions)

About Us

The Hartley Arms is part of Honesty Group – a people-first, community-led food business. We’re known for warm hospitality, great food made by hand, and spaces where locals, families, and guests feel genuinely welcome. Our restaurant and private function room host everything from relaxed lunches to special events and celebrations.

The Role

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable Front of House Assistant to support service in our restaurant and private function room. You’ll play a key part in creating great guest experiences day to day, as well as helping deliver smooth, memorable events and private bookings. This is a hands-on, varied role – no two shifts are the same.

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.
