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.
What We Offer
- Full-time position with stable hours
- Well-managed rota
- Last food orders at 8pm (six days a week) and 6pm on Sundays – no late finishes
- A venue with over 20 years of fantastic local reputation
- A small, independently run company where your contribution genuinely matters
- A supportive leadership team and a kitchen environment built on respect and teamwork
