We are accepting applications even if you are not ready to start until January; we still want to hear from you.

Who We Are

Turtle Bay is all about introducing you to that carefree, island way of life. A Caribbean kitchen and beach bar where the food, drinks and music flow from morning 'til night.

Everyone invited. Our team can tell if you need coffee, cocktail, cold beer or plate of cutters full of flavour. And our people serve up the magic and warmth of the Caribbean every day, so that everyone feels relaxed and welcome here. We're here to create genuine connections and put people at ease. By welcoming guests with our natural hosting skills and unpretentious atmosphere.

We bring people together. Strangers become friends and the bartender knows you by name. Were lunch drifts into sundowners.

What We're All About

We live by the spirit of One Love - a universal love and acceptance of all people. At Turtle Bay, we celebrate individuality, recognise differences and make it easy for people to be themselves. We take inspiration from the Caribbean culture - the music, the food, the drink, and of course those chilled out vibes.

Our Rewards

• Career progression and training with professional development and mentoring
• Enhanced family leave pay
• 50% discount at Turtle Bay for you and up to 6 friends
• Loyalty bonuses
• Referral bonuses up to £1,000

About the Role

As a Deputy Manager at Turtle Bay, you'll support the General Manager in leading the team, running a smooth operation, and delivering the relaxed, feel-good Turtle Bay experience that keeps our guests coming back. You're a hands-on leader, someone who can step up and take ownership while inspiring and motivating your team every day.

You'll play a key role in driving performance and team engagement, bringing the right energy and focus into service, and always looking for ways to grow both the business and your people. From hosting to managing shifts, training team members and making sure every guest leaves with a smile - you're there to help make it all happen.

We're looking for someone who's confident, people-first, and passionate about hospitality. You'll bring a strong sense of responsibility, positivity, and a clear drive to grow, while also knowing how to have fun, build trust, and keep your team motivated and supported.

At Turtle Bay, we're committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued and supported. Join us in our mission to champion equality, inclusion and wellbeing, and be part of a vibrant, diverse team that genuinely loves what they do.
