The Role

Job Title - Shift Leader

Fancy stepping up and running the show?

You know who we are. You know what we do. Now we want you to become part of what makes us tick. Our Shift Leaders keep everything running smoothly. From keeping the team buzzing to making sure our food's hot, fresh, and fast. We're looking for people who enjoy working fast and have strong leadership, with a can-do attitude.

What's in it for you?

Pay starts at 13.26-14.26 per hour Hands-on training with experienced managers Real opportunities to grow and move up Be part of a tight-knit team that's all about support and respect

You'll be right at the heart of it - leading shifts, keeping things flowing, solving problems on the fly, ensuring customers have a great experience and contributing to profitable performances. Sound like a bit of you? Let's make it happen.


With this being a restaurant-based role, you'll be getting stuck in with everything - from breakfast shifts to late nights (and overnights if your restaurant runs 24 hours). You'll work a mix of shift patterns, including weekends and bank holidays, so you'll get full experience of how the whole operation runs - and become a real pro at it.

No suit. No stress - just real opportunity.
