* Have experience maintaining impeccable food, health, and safety standards, and understanding financial aspects like gross profit, stock control, and labour costs, proactively spotting opportunities.
* Focus on building and nurturing your team, from recruitment to 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, able to think on your feet and make quick decisions.

We'd love to hear from you

What’s in it for you |

* Bonus scheme – up to £8,000 a year bonus opportunity
* 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 of work to treat friends and family
* Industry-leading family-friendly policy (expectant or adopting parents receive 26 weeks full pay + 13 weeks half pay)
