We’re looking for a commercially minded, hands-on General Manager to lead the catering and cleaning services at a high-profile corporate site in Avonmouth.
This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of a developing operation, working closely with senior client stakeholders and leading a team to deliver an outstanding customer experience.
This is a fantastic role for someone who wants to take ownership of a high-profile site serving around 450 customers, while developing a food offer that goes beyond traditional workplace catering.
With events, hospitality, pop-ups and wellbeing activity all forming part of the operation, there’s plenty of scope to bring ideas to the table and make your mark.
If you’re an experienced contract caterer ready to step into a broader General Manager role, we’d love to hear from you.
What you'll do
You’ll have overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation, with catering very much at the heart of the role.
You’ll:
- Lead and develop the onsite catering and cleaning teams
- Drive a high-quality, innovative and engaging food offer
- Work closely with the Head Chef to continually develop menus, concepts and customer experience
- Deliver hospitality, events, pop-ups and wellbeing initiatives
- Build strong relationships with senior client stakeholders
- Take ownership of site-level P&L, budgets and commercial performance
- Ensure consistently high standards across food, service, safety and compliance
- Look for opportunities to grow participation, improve the customer journey and enhance the overall workplace experience
- Lead from the front in a fast-moving, operational environment
How you'll work
Due to the site location, you'll also need to drive and have access to your own vehicle.
Are you an experienced Catering General Manager or Senior Catering Manager who loves great food, thrives in a client-facing environment and knows how to create a workplace food offer people genuinely want to use?
The site operates seven days a week, so you’ll work 5 days over 7 in line with business needs, including some weekends.
Contract: Full Time
Who we’re looking for
You don’t need to be a cleaning specialist. Your credibility as an experienced catering operator is what matters most.
