Sous Chef

ROKA is a collection of contemporary Japanese Robatayaki restaurants. Since launching in 2004 on Charlotte Street, our London family has grown to include locations in Mayfair, Canary Wharf, and Aldwych. ROKA embodies the spirit of togetherness and shared dining: (RO) represents the vibrant atmosphere, while (KA) symbolises the heat and energy of the Robata grill. Proudly part of the Azumi collection, ROKA continues to deliver an elevated yet welcoming dining experience at the heart of every service.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Sous Chef to join our vibrant team at ROKA Charlotte Street. As a key member of our back-of-house leadership, you will embody our passion for exceptional hospitality, ensuring every guest enjoys a warm, memorable welcome from the moment they arrive.

Our Sous Chefs are dedicated, hands-on, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, all while upholding ROKA’s renowned high standards. Full of personality and professionalism, you’ll inspire your team to deliver the outstanding service and seamless guest experience that define us.

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.
