CREATING PLACES WHERE PEOPLE FEEL WELCOME, SAFE AND THAT THEY BELONG

We aim to embed inclusion into every decision we make – across our people, customers, communities, suppliers, and operations. We want to create a culture where everyone feels welcome, valued, and able to thrive.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who loves hospitality and knows how to lead people.

You'll ideally have experience as an Assistant Manager, Supervisor or Team Leader in a busy pub, restaurant, bar, hotel, retail or similar fast-paced environment.

More importantly, you'll be:

A natural leader – you know how to bring people with you and aren't afraid to get stuck in.

Customer focused – you care about creating great experiences and understand what makes customers come back.

Commercially minded – you understand that great service and a successful business go hand in hand.

Confident and hands-on – you're comfortable making decisions, managing a busy shift and supporting your team when things get hectic.

Passionate about people – you'll enjoy coaching, developing and recognising your team.

Previous hospitality management experience is great, but we're also interested in people from other fast-paced customer-focused environments who have the right attitude and leadership skills.
