SHIFT LEADER - SPROUT & CO
We’re looking for a people-first, hands-on Shift Leader to join the team at Sprout Galway and help make this opening a success.
Sprout is coming to Galway – and we’re looking for Shift Leaders to help shape our very first restaurant here.
Our Shift Leaders play a BIG role in shaping how our restaurants feel, for both our team and our customers. You’ll lead the shift from the front, keep things moving, and help create a space where people want to come back (and work in) again and again.
This is a role for someone who loves people, leads by example, and thrives in a fast-moving, high-standard environment.
We’re opening applications now, but we’ll start contacting candidates from mid-April – so if you don’t hear from us right away, we haven’t forgotten you.
Reporting to: General Manager
Contract: Full-time
Pay: €15–€16 per hour depending on experience and role

Performance Driver – Spot issues, give real-time feedback, and help the team get better every day.
Recognition Champion – Celebrate the wins, call out great work, and foster a culture of appreciation.
Clean + Fresh – Own the look and feel of the space — from clean floors to perfect fridge displays and good tunes.
Feedback Flow – Actively gather and action customer feedback.
Pulse Monitor – Keep an eye on key metrics like NPS to improve customer experience and spot trends.

Good Level of English – You can confidently communicate direction with our team and our customers.
