Description

We are looking for a Casual Kitchen Assistant / Kitchen Porter to join our hardworking and friendly kitchen team. While this role involves physical work and dishwashing, it also offers a genuine opportunity to start your culinary journey. We are a from-scratch kitchen, and you’ll be working alongside classically trained, skilled chefs who are passionate about food and developing people. If you’re reliable, team-focused, and keen to learn, this could be the perfect first step into a professional kitchen.

What to Expect From Us

  • A strong commitment to training and development within the wider group
  • Regular progression opportunities and salary reviews in line with the industry
  • Paid staff events twice a year
  • A supportive, professional, and enjoyable working environment

We expect our teams to work hard and be committed, but we also believe enjoying your job is just as important.

Our Ideal Candidate

  • Happy to work longer hours during the busy summer months
  • Eager to learn, ideally with an interest in food
  • A team player with a positive attitude
  • Ready to work in a fun, fast-paced, and proactive kitchen

Key Responsibilities

  • Cleaning the kitchen to ensure it is ready for the next day
  • Maintaining food storage areas, including fridges and freezers
  • Receiving deliveries and organizing stock correctly
  • Washing dishes, cutlery, pots, pans, and kitchen equipment
  • Loading and unloading the dishwasher
  • Removing kitchen waste and disposing of it safely
  • Cleaning and maintaining kitchen equipment such as cookers and food mixers
  • Supporting chefs with basic food preparation (washing, peeling, chopping ingredients)
  • Assisting the kitchen team as required during 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.
