The Role

At a glance, your role is to work as part of a team to serve food and drinks to the correct specification, working efficiently, all while maintaining high standards of cleanliness, safety, and customer service.

Our pubs open early and close late, so we offer great flexibility with shift patterns, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and late finishes.

Duties include:

1. Taking orders, preparing, dispensing, and serving drinks to the correct specification, whether at the bar or via the customer app.
2. Delivering food to customers, ensuring check-backs are completed and clearing plates within the required timeframe.
3. Providing friendly customer interactions: saying "hello", thanking customers, and building rapport.
4. Being knowledgeable about promotions, events, and new products.
5. Maintaining our 'clean as you go' standards, including clearing tables, wiping surfaces, and carrying out toilet checks.
6. Working in all areas, including glass-washing, restocking fridges, floor and beer garden clearing, and other duties as needed.

Progression and Development

Most Wetherspoon team leaders and managers started in the kitchen or behind the bar. If you're looking to progress, we support your development with:

1. Structured on-the-job training.
2. Apprenticeships and management academies.
3. Cross-training into other areas (kitchen, hotel).
4. Opportunities to move into team-leader, kitchen-shift-leader, and pub-manager roles.

Wetherspoon promotes an inclusive working environment where everyone is welcome. We want you to feel comfortable being yourself at work. Regardless of your background, preferences, or beliefs, we ensure you have the skills and knowledge for a great career with us.

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

Hours per week:

16 hours, with flexible scheduling across all days.
