This is a role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, loves working with people and wants to keep growing as a leader.

What you’ll do

Lead the team

Support your Restaurant Leader and help set the team up for success. Lead from the front, communicate clearly and make sure everyone knows what’s expected.

Develop people

Support new starters, coach people day to day and give clear, useful feedback. Spot potential in others and help them build confidence and take their next step.

Create a great place to work

Build strong relationships across the team, encourage open communication and help create a culture where people feel supported, recognised and included.

Deliver brilliant hospitality

Make sure customers feel genuinely welcome and looked after. Step in when something goes wrong and help turn difficult moments into positive ones.

Protect our standards

Keep a close eye on food quality, portioning, prep, presentation, cleanliness and restaurant procedures so standards stay consistent throughout the day.

Run great shifts

Own the daily shift plan, make sure everyone knows their role and keep things moving when it gets busy.

Support the restaurant

Work closely with your Restaurant Leader on stock, waste, rostering, recruitment, retention and the day-to-day things that keep the restaurant running well.

Champion safety

Make sure food safety, hygiene and health & safety standards are understood and followed by everyone.

You’ll probably love being a Team Leader at Sprout if...

You naturally take ownership and don’t wait for someone else to sort things out
You enjoy helping other people learn and grow
You’re comfortable giving honest, useful feedback
You like being in the middle of a busy restaurant and leading from the front
You care about food, service and getting the details right
You’re organised, reliable and someone the team can depend on
You enjoy building relationships and bringing people together
You’re curious and want to keep developing as a leader

If you’re looking for a leadership role where you can stay in the background, avoid difficult conversations or leave the team to figure things out themselves, this probably isn’t the one.

A little about experience

We’d ideally like you to have around 2 years’ experience in hospitality or another fast-paced, high-standard environment, with some experience leading people or taking responsibility for shifts.

You’ll need to communicate confidently, stay organised when there’s a lot happening and be comfortable holding standards across food, service, safety and the team.

More than anything, we’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about people, takes responsibility and wants to become a stronger leader.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
