You’ll be a natural leader who takes great pride in leading and mentoring a team to achieve great success.

You’ll know restaurants inside and out, with a keen curiosity to discover and explore more about the industry to share with others.

You’ll have a hands-on approach and a flexible management style where you’ll treat your department as if it were your own business.

As a part of our team in restaurants, you’ll demonstrate a keen interest in delivering the world-class standards and customer experience that we are renowned for.

You’ll always look to genuinely connect with customers and you’ll have a good time doing it too (there’s no fun like work after all, as Harry Gordon Selfridge once said!)

You’ll be super professional, with the ability to handle tricky situations in a calm, diplomatic way.

Your communication skills will be strong and effective, and you’ll display a confident understanding of restaurant operations.

A positive, can-do attitude is what we love here, and you’ll always be prepared to go above and beyond for our customers.
