We’re looking for a Host to join the team at The Blues Kitchen.
The Blues Kitchen brings together delicious food, world class music and an incredible drinks menu, all under one roof. It’s built on great hospitality. Thoughtful service, proper food, and a space that feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. We focus on the details that matter, how guests are greeted, how the room flows, and how every visit feels easy, considered and worth coming back for.
As a Host, you set the tone. You’re the first impression of everything we stand for. This is a great role for someone who wants to build a career in hospitality and learn how we curate incredible guest experiences.
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.
