The Role
This is a full-time position, 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday. While the role is primarily Monday to Friday, some flexibility will be required to support occasional events and changing business needs.
Working alongside our chefs and wider kitchen team, you’ll help maintain excellent standards of cleanliness, hygiene and organisation, ensuring everyone has a safe and efficient environment to work in.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Washing, cleaning and storing kitchen equipment, crockery, cutlery and utensils.
- Keeping kitchen floors, walls, work surfaces and storage areas clean and tidy.
- Removing rubbish and recycling in line with site procedures.
- Assisting with deliveries, stock rotation and general kitchen organisation.
- Completing and recording cleaning schedules.
- Supporting chefs and kitchen staff with basic food preparation when required.
- Following all Health & Safety, Food Safety and COSHH procedures.
- Helping to maintain a clean, safe and organised working environment at all times.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t necessarily need previous kitchen experience - a positive attitude and willingness to learn are just as important.
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.
