Using your excellent eye for detail, you'll make sure all displays and signs are accurate, and that the food is looking good. At times, you may need to help the kitchen team with preparing food. You'll also be supervising the induction and training of colleagues, to help build a team that's dedicated to great service and to giving people a day to remember.

We'll give you an induction that fits the job, and training in allergens and food safety, plus any mentoring needed to help you in your role. You can sign up for further professional training and development if you wish.

• friendly and adaptable, with a positive 'can-do' approach.
• enthusiastic and willing to learn.
• a people person, who cares about communicating well and giving great service.
• aware of health and safety compliance.
• a problem solver, who can lead and support a team every day.
