Purpose:

Help make a difference through community support, sustainability, and social inclusion.

We’re looking for leaders who:

• Love coaching and developing people.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, people-focused environment.
• Run the restaurant brilliantly with creativity, leadership, and a flair for problem-solving.
• Share our values: Pride, Passion, Courage, Integrity, and Family.

The Boring (but Important) Stuff:

• Applicants must have the right to work in Australia/New Zealand and be 18+ to manage/supervise a restaurant.
• You’ll work with all Nando’s ingredients and obtain/hold certifications like liquor accreditation, First Aid, CPR, and manager accreditation, as required by local legislation.

Our Purpose:

At its core, this means we want to change the world around us by making a real difference to people’s lives. This passion to make a difference starts with our Nandocas (how we say staff), because when they’re being their best, brilliant selves, epic things happen. Our purpose guides and inspires us as we grow, so you may find us out in our communities lending a hand, connecting with customers and taking every opportunity to be a force for good.
