About the Role

The role will be pivotal in facilitating our objectives of innovation, improved service delivery, cost reduction and value for money.
It is an important part of the role to manage, support and develop the teams within your sphere of responsibility, to ensure responsive, well-motivated and customer-focused staff provide excellent catering services to all customers including staff, dignitaries and members of the public.
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.
