Assistant Manager

🍻 Why the Bath House?

The Bath House is all about great food, great drinks and great occasions.

Our sizeable beer garden overlooking the English Channel is a huge part of the experience, while inside we have a two-floor operation, with a first-floor bar and a large dining area giving us plenty of space to welcome our customers.

From pub classics, burgers and sharers to our popular 'Mix it Up' deal, there's something for everyone. And during the summer months, our takeaway offering adds another exciting dimension to the business.

We're also a destination for sports fans, so when the big games are on, the Bath House can get seriously busy. That's where you'll come in.

🚀 What’s the opportunity?

Working closely with the General Manager, you'll play a key role in running a busy, high-volume pub and leading the team through some of our biggest trading occasions.

You’ll:

• Support the General Manager with the day-to-day running of the Bath House.
• Lead from the front and set the standard for brilliant hospitality.
• Manage a two-floor operation, ensuring both the bar and dining areas run smoothly.
• Coach, motivate and develop the team, helping people perform at their best.
• Take ownership of shifts and confidently manage busy periods.
• Plan and deliver large sporting events, ensuring the team is prepared and the customer experience remains exceptional.
• Use your knowledge and passion for sport to help create an atmosphere customers want to return to.
• Drive sales across food, drinks, sport and key seasonal occasions.
• Maximise the summer trade, including the pub's takeaway offering.
• Make the most of the fantastic beer garden and seafront location.
• Build strong relationships with locals, visitors and regular customers.
• Maintain high standards across service, food, drink, cleanliness and safety.
• Support the General Manager with achieving the pub's commercial goals.
• Step up and lead the business in the General Manager's absence.
• Bring energy, ideas and a hands-on approach to every shift.

This is a role for someone who is comfortable being in the thick of it — someone who can keep a cool head when the pub is full, make quick decisions and ensure the team stays focused on delivering great hospitality.
