delivering food to customers, ensuring that check‑backs are completed and clearing plates within the required timeframe
providing friendly customer interactions: say "hello", thank customers and build rapport

Most Wetherspoon team leaders and managers started in the kitchen or behind the bar.

If you`re looking to progress, we can support your development with:

structured on‑the‑job training.
apprenticeships and management academies.
cross‑training into other areas (kitchen, hotel).
opportunities to move into team‑leader, kitchen‑shift‑leader and/or pub‑manager roles.

Wetherspoon promotes an inclusive working environment where everyone is welcome.

When you`re at work, we want you to feel comfortable being yourself. Whatever your background, preferences or beliefs, we`ll ensure that you have the skills and knowledge you need for a great career with us.

Under‑18s may attract a lower rate of pay, always in line with, but usually above, national guidelines.
