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 (kitchen, hotel).
- opportunities to move into team-leader, kitchen-shift-leader and/or pub-manager roles.

Under-18s may attract a lower rate of pay, always in line with, but usually above, national guidelines.
If a high number of applications is received, this vacancy may close early.
