What we look for

We're looking for someone who can embody the Wagamama way in all its forms. A great team player who can work well under pressure. You'll have good interpersonal skills, and be able to multitask in a fast-paced environment. You don’t need experience to join us as a kitchen porter; we'll provide all the training you need.

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, our thinking, our work must be fresh. We are committed to championing change in our communities and our impact on the planet.

For three decades, we've acted differently. We don’t conform; we celebrate difference. Appreciating personality over perfection. Welcoming everyone and their unique story to our benches. We promise to have your back, working together to build trust and support. We create safe spaces for real conversations with open hearts and minds.

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

Be you, be Wagamama
