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 five years of continuous references and a DBS check. If a pass cannot be obtained, we will consider other vacancies at nearby non-airport restaurants.
