The role
At a glance, your role is to work as part of a team to prepare and cook food and to help to keep the kitchen running smoothly, all while maintaining high standards of cleanliness, safety and customer service.

Progression and development

Most Wetherspoon team leaders and managers started in the kitchen or behind the bar. If you're looking to progress, we can support your development with:

• structured on-the-job training
• apprenticeships and management academies
• cross-training into other areas (bar, floor, hotel)
• opportunities to move into team-leader, kitchen-shift-leader and/or pub-manager roles.

Wetherspoon promotes an inclusive working environment where everyone is welcome. When you're at work, we want you to feel comfortable being yourself. Whatever your background, preferences or beliefs, we'll ensure that you have the skills and knowledge you need for a great career with us.
