Be You, Be Wagamama:

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