Excited to be part of a new opening in London? La Nouvelle Garde is bringing its vibrant take on a modern French brasserie to Chelsea with Brasserie Olivia. We’re looking for high-energy talent to join the family.

If you love a fast-paced "people-led" rush and want to be part of a legendary grand opening, join us on the floor, in the kitchen, pastry, and at the bar! 🔥

About La Nouvelle Garde

We’re redefining the classics! Serving generous, beautifully executed French dishes in lively, high-energy spaces. Our restaurants are fast-paced, people-led, and never stuffy. Quality matters. Atmosphere matters. But above all, team spirit is at the heart of everything we do.

The Role

As a Waiter, you are a key part of the guest experience. You deliver warm, professional service, know the menu inside out, and make guests feel looked after from arrival to departure.

What We're Offering

  • From £16 hourly (inclusive SC)
  • 28 days holiday

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.
