Wagamama is committed to being a disability-confident employer. As this role is based at an airport, successful candidates must 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, we will consider placements in nearby non-airport locations.
