Pierre’s is currently recruiting for a number of positions at the new restaurant, including kitchen manager, chef de partie, kitchen porter and duty manager, as well as waiting team opportunities. Training will be provided for all positions.

The restaurant is looking for someone with “great communication skills, motivation to achieve continued results, a passion for food and drink, commitment to a strong team and a sense of humour” for their duty manager position.

The duty manager will be the go-to manager to assist the general manager and their team, as well as undertaking specific tasks and responsibilities to encourage Pierre’s culture of “great value, delicious cooing in a buzzy atmosphere, all served by friendly and professional team enjoying themselves.”
