The shift manager role is paid £9.65 a hour and can be full or part time.
The assistant manager role isn’t listed with a salary, but comes with 28 days paid holiday and full training “to help deliver our amazing steps to service in providing quality beverage and bakery products.”
Dunkin Donuts have not responded to the Post’s requests for more information on the opening, but when we visited, it was clear that work inside the unit had begun.
