Be You, Be Wagamama:

Wagamama is proudly part of the Disability Confident scheme.

As this role is based at an airport, successful applicants will need to apply for an airport pass (paid for by Wagamama). This process requires providing 5 years of continuous references and completing a DBS check. If a pass cannot be obtained, alternative roles in nearby non-airport locations will be considered.

*Note: 100% of tips go to our teams. Tips vary by restaurant and are at guest discretion. Tips are not considered wages nor guaranteed.
