Private Chef UHNW Family
Middle East
Immediate Start
Exceptional Package
A rare opportunity has arisen for an exceptional Private Chef to join a high-profile, ultra-high-net-worth family in the Middle East.
Based in a beautiful private residence within a safe and welcoming country, the successful chef will work alongside a small, established culinary team, delivering outstanding food in a highly professional and discreet environment.
The family particularly enjoys fresh, ingredient-led Mediterranean cuisine, with a strong emphasis on outdoor and live-fire cooking. The chef should also be confident preparing a variety of international cuisines and adapting menus to suit different occasions, dietary requirements, and family preferences.
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.
