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.
As part of the management team you will have to work hard, maintain our standards and cleanliness in your kitchen, be organized and keep our brilliant team members motivated. Our mission is for all of our customers to receive hot, quality food within our 10 minute service aim and you will be at the forefront of delivering this aim. Of course there will be a lot for you to learn but we are confident with the right attitude, commitment and training you will have the opportunity to succeed.
We open our doors early in the morning and sometimes don’t close them until late at night, so we offer great flexibility. Working for Wetherspoon is rewarding, and our team are consistently maintaining our high standing and 5 star health and safety rating but with the right attitude we know you can climb our career ladder even higher pretty quickly!
