Key responsibilities

You'll learn commercial skills in areas including finance, marketing, leadership and HR, and attend several courses at our Management University.
After completing the programme you'll be a qualified Assistant Manager working with the management team. You'll be setting targets, managing budgets, controlling stock as well as recruiting, training and inspiring your employees.

How to apply
First we check to see if you measure up to our basic criteria. We're looking for graduates from any discipline, or people with relevant experience in management and customer-facing roles. After that you'll complete an online personality questionnaire that helps tell us if we're well suited for each other. Next, a restaurant-based On-Job Evaluation (OJE). This lasts a day and you get to try the job for real. Finally, an interview with the area Operations Manager/Franchisee, who'll discuss everything you've done so far and decide if we're right for each other.
To apply for this position you'll need to be of school-leaving age (have finished secondary school), be legally allowed to work in the UK and have either a degree or relevant experience.
All our Trainee Business Manager positions require you to be mobile within the geographical region you apply to.
