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.
The role:
- Prepping and cooking dishes to spec during busy services
- Running a section or supporting wherever the kitchen needs you
- Delivering our Christmas menus and large party bookings
- Keeping your section clean, organised and food safe
What we’re looking for:
- Previous kitchen experience – Chef de Partie, Commis or similar
- Able to work well under pressure in a busy kitchen
- Good knowledge of food safety
- Available for shifts over Christmas, including evenings and weekends
