About the Role

As a Quality Assurance Operative, you will play a key role in supporting food safety and quality management processes as our production kitchens adopt manufacturing-level standards to become future-fit. Working closely with operational teams and chefs, you will help ensure that all food produced meets required safety, legal, and quality standards through robust checks, controls, and inspections.

Key Responsibilities Include:

  • Operating the label room, issuing and checking retail and food-to-order labels
  • Carrying out food safety inspections, including due diligence paperwork, labelling, traceability, and raw material stock checks
  • Completing routine assurance checks such as temperature monitoring and tray wash chemical concentration testing
  • Supporting customer complaint investigations with accurate quality and safety information
  • Managing calibrations for temperature probes and weighing scales

This position is onsite in Knightsbridge.

About You

You will be detail-driven, organized, and confident working in a fast-paced food production environment where accuracy and compliance are critical. You will bring a proactive, quality-focused mindset and be comfortable building strong working relationships with chefs and operational teams. You will manage your time effectively, adapt quickly to changing priorities, and work with minimal supervision while maintaining high standards at all times. Above all, you will demonstrate a strong work ethic and a genuine commitment to doing things the right way.

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.
