• Support managers – provide hands-on recruitment advice and coordination, making hiring easier for busy restaurant leaders.
• Balance pace and quality – handle multiple roles across multiple sites, delivering efficiently without compromising on fit.
What We’re Looking For:
• Recruitment experience in a fast-paced, multi-site hospitality environment (essential).
• Strong understanding of restaurant operations and the impact of staffing on the team, guests, and performance.
• Confident user of applicant tracking systems and recruitment processes.
• Delivery-focused, hands-on, and not afraid to get stuck in.
• Problem solver with a practical, solutions-led approach.
• Flexible to support a business that operates evenings and weekends.
• Based in the South East or London, with the ability to travel across our estate, if needed.
Why Join Us?
