A popular bar and restaurant brand plans to recruit 60 workers as it prepares to open its first Scottish location.
Caribbean bar and restaurant brand Turtle Bay is searching for “a brilliant team to provide fantastic customer experiences in the heart of Glasgow city centre”.
It said the expansion offers a range of roles and that it is looking for candidates who “demonstrate a spirit of positivity and desire to learn”.
Turtle Bay is “providing an opportunity for those looking to move into the restaurant industry, focusing on cultural fit and enthusiasm over experience”.

Gemma Lewis, operations manager at Turtle Bay said: “We’ve always focused on recruiting and hiring a team who exude the energy and excitement that Turtle Bay gives to its guests – for us, attitude and fit are much more important than hospitality experience.
"The right people will be fast learners who will pick up those skills as they go. We can’t wait to meet the enthusiastic new recruits who will become our first Scotland team.
“Our expansion into Scotland is an exciting time for us but also offers a chance for us to provide long-term employment opportunities for the local area, as we seek to bring Carribean good times to Glasgow.”

Turtle Bay’s first opening in Scotland comes following the brand’s success in England and Wales, with Glasgow marking the 52nd location since the brand was established in 2010.
Located at 130 St Vincent St, Glasgow, Turtle Bay will be bringing its "signature soulful Caribbean-inspired menu, delicious tropical cocktails and reggae beats to the heart of the city centre".
