JOIN USWe'll always be looking for superstars at Jamie's Italian - at every level. To us, what makes someone special is their attitude. Positive, friendly, genuine, team-focused are characteristics that will impress us. Previous experience is essential for some roles but in addition, you should:
• Have loads of enthusiasm and always come to work to do your best
• Interact brilliantly with both team mates and customers
• Genuinely think that giving great service is something to be proud of, whatever your position
In return, you'll be well rewarded, challenged and nurtured within an environment where the highest standards are our benchmark and having fun is essential. We regularly arrange trips for our staff, often to Italy, where they meet our suppliers and experience real Italian life - from a food and drink perspective, obviously! All our trip winners have been nominated on the basis of attitude and team contribution so places are open to all. As Jamie's Italian expands (we are opening more restaurants this year and beyond), our aim is that our team members will learn, thrive and progress. So talent spotting and creating opportunities for development is a priority. We've already promoted several front of house staff to supervisory and management positions and in the kitchen, chefs have been moved up to more senior roles.
Here are some tips for applying to work with us:
- You'll need to be over 18 if you're serving customers - and in general, all our positions are full-time.
- The best way to catch our attention is to send your CV to us via this website.
- Look out for the "recruiting now" stickers, which will let you know when we're putting a team together for a new opening.
- We'll also advertise specific roles within our existing restaurants and of course, if you'd like to work at a restaurant near you, we're happy to hear from you and will keep your details until a suitable position comes up.
- Fill in your details on the application form then state which restaurant you are applying for as this will help us to fast track your application to the right place.
- Make sure your CV is up to date and that your experience is as relevant as possible as this does count.
- Then add a few lines about yourself which will make us sit up and take notice. You'll be surprised what a difference a great letter makes - although keep it concise!
- Of course, if you're passing a restaurant and want to drop in a CV in person, that's fine too.
Everyone pulls their weight and makes this Jamie machine run as smoothly as they can. It sounds corny but I literally have to pinch myself now and again just to make sure I'm really here!" Danny, Chef
"To begin with, working for Jamie Oliver was the main draw. Since starting though, I've realised there is so much more to the company - the food is amazing and I've appreciated how important it is to have great menu knowledge. I love everything about where I work and that's a first for me!" Katie, Waitress
"I know two Waiters who began working at Jamie's Italian right from the opening. It was very exciting to hear about the process of establishing a new restaurant that quickly became "the place to eat". The way they spoke about the restuarant gave me an image of a young, bustling and trendy environment without pretention or fuss and this made me want to be part of it even more.
Working here means being part of a lovely team where you feel your efforts really contribute to every person coming through the door having a wonderful time. It also means a sense of pride when a customer leaves with a smile on their face. Anne, Host
