Junior Chef – London Harrow Premier Inn

Learn. Cook. Grow.

Looking to build a career in the kitchen? This could be the perfect next step.

As a Junior Chef at Premier Inn, you'll receive full training and support from experienced chefs while developing the skills and confidence to work independently in a busy kitchen environment.

From preparing fresh ingredients and learning recipes to cooking and plating dishes during service, you'll gain hands-on experience from day one. As your confidence grows, you'll take ownership of your own tasks and play an important part in delivering great meals for our guests.

One shift you could be helping prepare breakfast before guests start their day. The next, you'll be confidently cooking and plating dishes during a busy evening service.

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.
