Join Our Front of House Team - Where Great Service Becomes An Unforgettable Experience!

About Solis

Solis focuses on serving simple, well-executed food with bold and uncompromising flavours. The menu is heavily influenced by Iberian and Latin American “Parilla” culture, where families and friends gather to grill meats and vegetables over open fires. Solis takes influence from both sides of The Atlantic – Spain, Portugal, Uruguay and Argentina.

About The Role

We're excited to be looking for an experienced Head Waiter to join our front-line team at Arcade Solis (Battersea)! As a Head Waiter at Solis, you love delivering top-notch guest experiences and have a knack for making every service unforgettable. The successful candidate in this role will:

  • Be in charge of opening and closing the restaurant.
  • Assist with the coaching and development of junior staff members.
  • Communicate with guests in a confident and professional manner.
  • Be responsible for delivering a consistent and high standard service.
  • Be in your element delivering top-tier hospitality with a positive vibe and great smile.
  • Take orders, serve food and drinks, and make menu recommendations.
  • Keep things running smoothly in a fast-paced environment.
  • Work closely with the kitchen and bar teams.
  • Maintain & update cleaning schedules, records and checklists.
  • Adhere to all relevant Food Safety and Health & Safety practices and procedures.
  • Have the opportunity to be cross trained across all areas of the restaurant!

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.
