As this role is based in an airport, all successful applicants will need to apply for an airport pass (paid for by Wagamama). As part of this process, you'll be required to provide 5 years' worth of continuous references and complete a DBS check. If we are unable to obtain a pass, we'll look for vacancies in nearby non-airport restaurants.

The Wagamama way |

Kaizen, meaning ‘good change’, is the philosophy that sits at the core of who we are. It shapes every dish we create and pushes us to find better ways in all we do. Our food, how we think, how we work, it has to be fresh. We are committed to championing change in both our communities and the impact on the planet.

With three decades of acting differently, we don’t conform; we celebrate difference. We appreciate personality over perfection. We welcome everyone and their unique story to our benches. We promise to have your back, working together to build close bonds of trust and support. We create safe spaces where we can have real conversations with open hearts and open minds.

All we ask is for you to dish up what makes you different.

Be you, be Wagamama
