Your Adventure Starts Here – as a Sous Chef at Banana Tree

At Banana Tree, we believe every great journey begins with a warm welcome and a smile. If you’re the kind of person who thrives on energy, loves connecting with people, and dreams of faraway places like the jungles of Borneo or the street food stalls of Malaysia, then this is your calling.

As a Kitchen Team Leader, you’re not just delivering dishes—you’re delivering experiences. From the zing of a Vietnamese salad to the comfort of a creamy Katsu, you’ll guide our guests through a menu packed with bold flavours and vibrant stories.

This is more than a job. It’s your first step into a world of flavour, culture, and unforgettable moments. Join our team and help us bring the spirit of Southeast Asia to every table.

At Banana Tree, our food takes you places—and so can this role.

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.
