Head Chef Opportunity

With our new venue launching we are recruiting for a passionate and dedicated Head Chef with the vision and drive to lead a busy kitchen. We are looking for someone who is a leader, who will inspire their team to work together to create exceptional dining experiences using high-quality, local produce. As Head Chef, you’ll manage all aspects of the kitchen, working closely with the General Manager, Executive Chef and owners to ensure profitability while maintaining the highest standards. Calm under pressure, you’ll lead by example, motivating your team with your passion, professionalism and experience. We want you to build and develop a brigade of like-minded individuals who care about not only what they are serving, but the environment in which they are working.

Volume is key here, we are a busy group and there is no time for someone wanting to watch from the sidelines. We are hands on, from ownership to operations and being a nice person matters. You will work directly with the owners to grow the business, we want to build a family and want you to be part of it!

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.
