If you’re looking for a leadership role where you can stay in the background, avoid difficult conversations or leave the team to figure things out themselves, this probably isn’t the one.
A little about experienceWe’d ideally like you to have around 2 years’ experience in hospitality or another fast-paced, high-standard environment, with some experience leading people or taking responsibility for shifts.
You’ll need to communicate confidently, stay organised when there’s a lot happening and be comfortable holding standards across food, service, safety and the team.
More than anything, we’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about people, takes responsibility and wants to become a stronger leader.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
