Job Description
The essential ingredient at the heart of our business is our people so we are searching for an experienced Senior Chef de Partie with a background in exceptional food catering services to join our business and work at one of our highly prestigious education settings.

The role is for 40 hours a week, 5 days over 7, including weekend shifts on a rotating rota, 41 weeks a year, with six weeks of Summer School in July and August.
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.
