So many vegan jobs in London

by

As the economy starts to reopen, many vegan restaurants and cafes around London are furiously looking for staff.

The past year and a bit saw a lot of businesses close, some temporarily and some for good. As people get used to spending money again and once again dining outside their own homes, vegan business owners are throwing caution to the wind and reopening.

I’ve noticed quite a few vegan job adverts popping up online over recent days including with Temple of Seitan, a legendary vegan business with which I am currently working!

Here are a few picks for jobs that caught my eye from three of the best names on the vegan London scene.

Be sure to also use employment portals and platforms online to search for vegan employment. I’m certain you will find a lot more out there.

Essential Vegan in Dalston needs you! They are looking for an experienced part-time kitchen assistant to join their lovely team immediately. Please send your cv to info@essentialvegan.co.uk and you could be working with their gorgeous team and serving drag brunch every weekend!
