Restaurant Manager Apprenticeship Programme

Nando's - Eltham · London Arena

HospitalityIntermediate Level 2On-site

Due to the nature of the shift patterns, you will need to be aged 18 or older to apply for this role.

Fired up. Big heart and always bringing the energy. That's what we're looking for in our future leaders. And this is your chance to be one.

You'll start off alongside apprentices from other restaurants and get to know how we work and how we bring the heat for customers every day. Then we'll gradually help you building up your management skills to help others bring their passion every day. If you want to be a leader, this is where you learn to do it the Nando's way.

If you're looking for a great job while you work out what you want to do next, you might be better off looking at our normal Team Member roles. For this, we want people who are excited to spend three years with us, learning the restaurants inside-out and throwing yourself into the training with an eye on becoming an Assistant Manager.

At Nando's, growth is way more than just helping you to perform in your job, it's about becoming a better person inside and outside of work. You'll be making customers feel valued and making sure they leave happy every time. What's not to love?
