Site roles

When you join Welcome Break, a world of opportunities opens up for you. Whatever role you start in, we’ll support you with bespoke training to get you where you want to go.

Depending on the brand you work for within Welcome Break you could be making coffee as a Barista in Starbucks, frying chicken as a Cook in KFC, serving customers in our Forecourts (Petrol Stations) or making sandwiches in Subway. Working as a Welcome Break Team Member is a fun and rewarding role, helping our road-weary customers feel human again

“Since the first day that I joined Welcome Break I’ve received so much support from both my colleagues and managers. This, alongside the excellent training & development programmes,  has meant I’ve been able to progress through the business from a Team Member to a Unit Business Manager.

We celebrate success and work together to achieve business goals and team member recognition is a key factor. We recognise and reward great behaviour through values cards, Kudos and regular team member of the month nominations and make sure our team enjoys coming to work. Having a variety of different brands and teams on-site all working towards the same goal is one of the main reasons why I love coming into work. Every day is different, and that is what makes Welcome Break an exciting place to work"

Typical unit structure

As a Team Member, you’ll join one of our sites in a unit led by a UBM (Unit Business Manager) and can work in any one of the brands in that location.  

You have so many options to progress not only upwards but also across brands.
