    About You

    Ideal candidates will have at least two years of experience in a similar role and are seeking an assistant position where they will be comfortable leading a team of experienced staff in a fast-paced environment.

    Once settled in, the successful candidate will likely work under the General Manager for a period and be asked to perform relief manager duties to cover general manager holidays. Additionally, in 2025 or 2026, there will be scope for progression to the General Manager position.

    Skills and Experience

    • A minimum of two years' experience as a manager or supervisor in a bar/restaurant
    • No other commitments, must be available weekdays and weekends.
    • Having café, restaurant, and bar experience
    • All round experience on the bar, the floor and the kitchen
    • Licence holder would be preferable although training will be provided

    This is a rare opportunity for a Deputy Manager to come into the business and learn from the General Manager on the ins and out of running an independent pub business. If you are thinking of taking on a pub business yourself in the future this role could really suit.

    With an ambitious strategy, we aim for continued growth and success, so if you have the ability to work in a team environment, are committed, talented, and enthusiastic, this is the place for you.
