We’re looking for an Assistant General Manager to join us on our journey of true nourishment.

A passion for people, food, and hospitality, along with a drive to make positive change, are essential.
Benefits include a competitive salary, a £3000 bonus opportunity per year, an average of £140 tips per week, access to Wagestream to access up to 30% of earnings before payday, a dedicated 6-week training program, free Wagamama food allowance on shifts, discounts at Wagamama and other brands, internal progression opportunities, wellness support, family-friendly policies, and financial wellbeing support.
What we look for:
* An experienced hospitality manager capable of leading a restaurant team with positive behavior and driving performance in a fast-paced environment.
* A strong communicator who engages in meaningful conversations, ensuring team support and understanding.
* Experience in understanding financial performance and managing budgets.
* A passionate leader who manages team performance and development.
* An inspiring individual who motivates their team to flourish.
* A proactive problem solver who can think quickly and make decisions.
The Wagamama way:
Kaizen, meaning 'good change,' is our core philosophy—shaping everything we do, from our food to our mindset. We are committed to championing change in our communities and on the planet.
For over three decades, we’ve celebrated difference, valuing personality over perfection, welcoming everyone, and building trust and support. We create safe spaces for honest conversations and encourage you to bring your authentic self to Wagamama.
Wagamama is proudly part of Disability Confident.
