Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be right at the heart of the action - leading busy services, keeping standards sharp and stepping up to run the kitchen. From driving food quality and embedding strong food safety habits, to managing stock like a pro and protecting margins, you'll help keep the operation running smoothly. You'll inspire and develop the team around you, bring fresh ideas to menus using trends and customer feedback, and play a key role in shaping a kitchen that delivers consistency, pace and wow-factor every single day.
What we're looking for:
- Experience as a Senior Chef de Partie or Sous Chef
- Confident leading a team in a large fast-paced kitchen
- Strong knowledge of HACCP and food safety
- Commercial awareness and attention to detail
- Positive, proactive and calm under pressure
The role offers full-time hours of 40 average weekly hours annualised over a 12-month period, stepping up your hours at peak (October to December) and working less in non-peak (January - March). You'll have one set day off each week and work alternate weekends*.
