Bella Italia, the UK’s favourite Italian restaurant, has announced plans to create over 2,000 new jobs nationwide, thanks to an ambitious growth plan which will see 40 new sites opened by 2017.
These jobs will cover front of house team members, chefs and management positions, at a variety of levels of responsibility, providing opportunities for people at all stages in their careers, with comprehensive training available to skill them up as required. An average of 1,000 roles will be created per year, at locations across the country, an investment trend that Bella Italia expects to continue year on year for the foreseeable future.
For 2015, the majority of these jobs will be created in the South East of the country, with 400 new vacancies, while 200 people in the North West will be able to join the Bella Italia team. A further 150 positions are to be opened up in London this year, followed by 120 in the South West, 110 in the East Midlands, 100 in the North East, and 80 in the West Midlands.
The announcement of these new jobs comes after Bella Italia created 200 roles in the last two months, thanks to openings in Bristol, Dudley, Taplow and Ashton.
For those new to hospitality…
Furthermore, as Bella Italia prioritises candidates with the right personality and behaviour over experience, this means the roles are ideal for those new to hospitality who are looking to break into this exciting, dynamic industry.
With flexible working hours too, it’s also a great opportunity for mothers returning to work who need to fit a job around childcare, those with dependents, or those looking for a second job to provide additional income while fitting in around their existing employment. These positions are also sure to appeal to the rising number of 18-24 year olds struggling to find work.
