The Role
We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented Sous Chef to join the culinary team at a high-spec corporate venue in the City of London. Working a 40-hour Monday-to-Friday contract, this role offers an exceptional work-life balance alongside top-tier culinary standards, including a shift pattern with no evening service on Fridays to kick off your weekend early. In this position, you will work closely with the Head Chef to produce fine-dining quality dishes, execute bespoke events, and deliver intimate private dining experiences for executive clients.
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.
