The roles are being driven by plans to open over 50 new McDonald’s restaurants across the country over the next 12 months, and in anticipation of crew capacity in restaurants increasing in line with government guidelines.
Paul Pomroy CEO of McDonald’s UK and Ireland, said: ‘We hire brilliant people from communities across the UK & Ireland based on their qualities, not their qualifications, and we’re proud to give people from all backgrounds a start in their careers.
