Monday to Friday Fresh Food Street Food Premium Corporate Site

We're recruiting a creative Head Chef to lead a premium Business and Industry contract in Central London.

You'll oversee a busy breakfast and lunch operation serving up to 250 covers, with a strong focus on fresh food, retail dining and street food concepts. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a chef-led business where creativity is encouraged and work-life balance really exists.

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.
