Job description

We are looking for an Assistant Manager for our beautiful Liverpool restaurant. With approximately 150 covers inside and out, this one-floor restaurant offers stunning settings and is the perfect location for lunch or dinner.

There is a fantastic management team, and the General Manager, Emma, is supportive, knowledgeable, and great fun! We also have a strong back-of-house team led by a talented Head Chef.

The stated salary includes the predicted service charge. This is based on a 40-hour contract paid hourly. We contract you to full-time hours, so there is no risk of reduction, and you will be paid for any additional hours worked, ensuring you never work for free!

What we offer:

• Competitive salary with service charge (stated earnings are with service charge), approximately 7k per year, with potential to earn more!
• Opportunities for development and progression
• Meals on shift
• Excellent training — we support you every step of the way

We believe it's important to be transparent and clear throughout your process with us. We want YOU to want US.

In return, we will develop, nurture, and support your growth. Whatever your goals, we want to help you achieve them. The potential for growth within Wildwood is limitless, and we’d love you to join us on that journey.

Who are we? We focus on great food, exceptional service, and managing a spectacular 35 sites. We’re not corporate or stuffy; we keep it real. Our senior managers are present and hands-on, supporting you every step of the way. We strike a balance between support and autonomy, allowing you to have a say in how the restaurant is run.

We are the right size — big enough for career growth and small enough to offer personalized support. We pride ourselves on quality over heavy discounting. Our in-house marketing team works with you to maximize customer potential without 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 within 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

Alongside 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.
