Nando's - Waterloo
We’re looking for the next generation of Nandoca (Team members) who want to join us on the three-year journey to being Assistant Manager-ready. This is a brand-new opportunity where you’ll do your Hospitality Hero Level 2 Apprenticeship and jump straight onto the Pathway to Assistant Manager Level 3.

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?

Ask people where Nando’s comes from and you’ll get a different answer every time. Portugal? Mexico? The UK?

The Nando's story started in 1987 in Rosettenville, a Portuguese neighbourhood in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Fast forward five years and Nando’s landed in the UK. Now, with over 490 restaurants (and counting), their PERi-PERi is a bestselling hot sauce and Nando’s has become as big a part of culture as drinking tea.
