The role

As Assistant Manager, you'll work closely with the General Manager to help ensure the smooth running of the hotel, restaurant and pub. You'll play a key role in leading the team, maintaining standards and creating memorable experiences for every guest.

What you'll do

  • Support hotel operations: Help oversee the day-to-day running of our 22-bedroom hotel, ensuring guests enjoy a seamless and welcoming stay.

  • Lead and inspire the team: Motivate, coach and support team members, creating a positive environment where people feel valued and perform at their best.

  • Deliver outstanding customer service: Take pride in every guest interaction, resolving issues professionally and going the extra mile to make someone's visit special.

  • Keep operations running smoothly: Support with rotas, staffing, standards and daily priorities across the hotel, pub and restaurant.

  • Create memorable experiences: Help deliver special occasions, family gatherings and celebrations that guests will want to return for.

  • Drive business performance: Support the General Manager with sales, costs, stock and overall profitability.

  • Maintain high standards: Ensure the hotel, restaurant and pub are welcoming, clean, safe and compliant.

What we're looking for

We're ideally looking for someone with previous hospitality management experience, particularly within a hotel, pub or restaurant environment. You'll be confident managing a team and understand what it takes to deliver excellent service in a busy, guest-focused business.

You'll bring:

  • Strong people-management skills and the ability to lead by example.

  • A genuine passion for hospitality and first-class customer service.

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

  • Confidence handling guest feedback and resolving issues.

  • Good organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities.

  • Commercial awareness and an understanding of day-to-day business operations.

  • A positive, hands-on approach and a willingness to get involved wherever needed.

📋 Personal Licence

As this role may involve covering the business in the General Manager's absence, you'll need to be eligible to hold a Personal Licence. You don't need to have one when you apply. If you're successful, Greene King will support you through the process of obtaining your licence.
