Be You, Be Wagamama:

Wagamama is proudly part of Disability Confident. As this role is based in an airport, successful applicants will need to apply for an airport pass (paid for by Wagamama). This involves providing five years of continuous references and completing a DBS check. If a pass cannot be obtained, alternative vacancies in nearby non-airport locations will be considered.

*100% of tips go to our teams. Tips vary by restaurant and are left at guest discretion; they are not considered wages and are not guaranteed.
