Be You, Be Wagamama:

Wagamama is proudly part of the Disability Confident scheme.

Note: As this role is based in an airport, successful applicants 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 seek vacancies in nearby non-airport restaurants.
