Private Chef Opportunity at Hound Lodge
We have a rare opportunity for a talented and creative Private Chef to deliver an exceptional, truly bespoke dining experience at our stunning Hound Lodge.
Set in the heart of the Goodwood Estate, this is no ordinary role. You'll create seasonal menus using locally sourced, award-winning produce, including ingredients from our own Home Farm, bringing fresh ideas to life in a unique luxury setting.
- No two days are the same as you create bespoke dining experiences, liaise with guests on menu selections and dietary requirements, and collaborate with the Head Chef, General Manager, and wider kitchen team.
- You'll also support the Kennels kitchen during quieter lodge periods, making you an integral part of the wider culinary team.
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.
