• Confidence interacting with guests in a busy environment
• Ability to stay organised and calm under pressure
• Flexibility to work across different outlets and shift patterns
• Prior experience in hospitality is desirable

Please note: Due to the length of some shifts, you must be 18 or over. Having your own reliable transport is essential.
