Job description

We have a rare opportunity at our beautiful restaurant in Camberley, located in the Atrium shopping centre.

This single-floor restaurant, with approximately 160 covers, serves breakfast and is an ideal location for lunch and dinner.

We are seeking a hands-on Assistant Manager who is eager for involvement and responsibility. The General Manager is excellent and will share all aspects of restaurant operations to support your growth and development. We want a manager who loves hospitality and will be actively involved in service to ensure the best experience for our guests.

Package & hours: The package includes a predicted service charge, based on an hourly rate on a 45-hour contract. Additional hours worked will be paid.

What’s in it for you? We value transparency and clarity throughout your application process. We want YOU to want US. In return, we will support your development, help you achieve your goals, and offer limitless growth opportunities within Wildwood.

Who are we? We believe in simplicity—focusing on great food, exceptional service, and operating across 37 sites. We are not corporate or stuffy; we keep it real. Our senior managers are present and hands-on, supporting you every step of the way. We balance support with autonomy, allowing you to have a say in how the restaurant is run.

We are the perfect size—big enough for growth and career development, yet small enough to provide personalized support. We pride ourselves on our quality, not heavy discounting, and our in-house marketing team works with you to maximize customer potential rather than relying on discount platforms.

We’re looking for an Assistant Manager who:

• Is warm, friendly, and natural with guests
• Is team-focused, supporting and guiding the team to deliver excellent service
• Has at least one year of management experience in a restaurant
• Is experienced in a busy, standards-led environment, ideally branded
• Is committed to a career in hospitality
• Has energy and enthusiasm
• Has an interest in marketing, training, and recruitment

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer benefits such as a great service charge, free staff meals, discounts, and regular incentives. You can also access wages early through Wagestream to pay yourself as you earn.
