a fantastic company
J D Wetherspoon was founded in 1979 by law student Tim Martin. His aim was to create pubs which would appeal to a wide customer
base, delivering good beer, great food and excellent service, in a clean and friendly environment. He succeeded. J D Wetherspoon
is now one of the most progressive pub companies in the UK. Our pubs are full of character and, offering a wide range of products at
competitive prices, they really do set the standard on the high street and were winners of the ‘best company’ category in the Retailers’
Retailer of the Year awards. Add to this our vibrant Lloyds No.1 bars and J D Wetherspoon hotels and you’ll see why our customers keep
coming back for more.

with fantastic training


You’ll have the chance to really prove yourself with us, and we will help you to succeed all the way, whatever your background.
Designed to ensure that all employees achieve their goals, our flexible training and development are so good that we have been
awarded many BII NITA (national innkeeping training awards) over the years and have been recognised as one of ‘Britain’s Top
Employers’ for the last six years.

for a fantastic career


J D Wetherspoon is continually moving forward, so there are always new opportunities opening for our people. We’re also committed to
promoting from within the company. 80% of our shift and kitchen managers joined the company as staff, and 100% of our pub
managers were shift or kitchen managers. So, apply today and let this be the start of something fantastic.

environmental awards
Wetherspoon has won a major award, in recognition of its commitment to the environment. It has won the Green Apple Award for
‘environmental best practice and sustainable development’ – for its recycling operation and the work carried out by the company’s pubs
across the UK. This was as part of the National Green Apple Awards for Environmental Best Practice. Wetherspoon was one of only
three UK companies to be named as a green champion by the award’s organiser, The Green Organisation, whose supporters include
The Environment Agency, the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and other
professional bodies.

career progression opportunities


We’re committed to training and developing our staff. Here are the steps you may take on your career path…

Bar and kitchen staff


Welcome to J D Wetherspoon! This is the perfect place to learn about the importance of customer service and develop your skills.
Starting with your induction training, you’ll then have ongoing, on-the-job training which includes food hygiene and health & safety.
You will then complete advanced training in wine, coffee, ale and spirits.

Bar or kitchen team leaders


You’re on your way up the ladder – and, to help, you’ll undergo our Team Leader Training Programme. With this position comes more
responsibility. This is why you will get additional on-the-job training to boost your confidence.

Bar or kitchen shift leaders


More than just supervising, you are now providing essential support to the management team and taking on more responsibilities.
You’ll undergo our Shift Leader Training Programme and will attend courses to give you a better understanding of how to manage
the business.

Shift or kitchen managers


Our Shift Manager Training Programme has been designed to help you to succeed at the duty manager level. By now, you’ll also have a
thorough understanding of the business, so will also receive on- and off-the-job training, in a wide variety of management areas,
including people, marketing and finance. There will also be off-the-job modules on rota-planning, customer service and profit & loss,
plus courses in people skills, business & finance and stock management.

Pub managers
All of our pub managers are promoted from within – so this is a very realistic goal for those who want
to further their career. Once here, you’ll take part in the Pub Management Development Programme,
which will include the Advanced Diploma in Leisure Retail Management and could lead to a
STAFFAPP2010

BA (Hons) degree!
