We are looking to further strengthen our kitchen brigade, with people who are used to working in a busy environment.
This role is offered on a full-time basis with a great work-life balance of 36.5 hours per week, working on a rota basis including some evenings and weekends.
You will already be working in a professional kitchen and will have the skills to help train and develop some of our junior team members. Based in our main production kitchen, you will support the running of the conference and hospitality sections by planning ahead, organising the team, and ensuring a faultless service delivery every time.
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.
