About the Role

At Langosteria, wine is an essential part of the experience. We’re looking for a Head Sommelier with deep expertise, refined taste, and a true passion for hospitality to curate, manage, and elevate our wine program while guiding guests through memorable pairings and discoveries.

  • Guide guests through wine selections and pairings, creating personalized experiences
  • Lead and train the sommelier and service team on wine knowledge and service standards
  • Manage wine purchasing, inventory, storage, and cost control
  • Collaborate closely with the Restaurant Manager, Head Chef, and FOH team
  • Ensure correct wine service, presentation, and cellar organization

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.
