* Focus on building and nurturing your team from recruitment through ongoing development, fostering personal and professional growth.
* Care about creating an inclusive environment where your team feels respected and valued, enabling them to thrive in their roles and careers.
* Are a forward-thinking problem solver, capable of quick decision-making.
What’s In It For You:
* Bonus scheme — up to £8,000 annually
* Access up to 30% of your earnings before payday with Wagestream
* Private medical insurance
* Free food on shift — anything from our menu, plus 50% off outside work for friends and family
