Job description

The Wellington lies at the top of Bristol's iconic Gloucester Road, a stretch that has long been seen as the epitome of the city's independent spirit. We're popular with locals and visitors alike throughout the year, thanks to a quality food offering, warm welcome, and comfy hotel-style accommodation. You'll be leading this contemporary pub, complete with suntrap beer garden, that charms with quirky decor echoing the soul of the area. What's more, all that Bristol has to offer lies right on our doorstep. If you are an experienced General Manager with a proven track record in premium pub environments, this could be your chance to step into a high-profile role with St Austell Brewery and make your mark at one of our most iconic sites.

About you:

• You head up the front of the business, leading a team of passionate team members to deliver experiences that delight.
• You champion the spirit and values of St Austell Brewery, inspiring those around you and setting a glowing example for them to follow.
• Closely monitoring your team's performance gives you the insight to give praise where it's due, provide constructive feedback, and nurture talent.
• You oversee all aspects of finance and admin procedures with ease. No detail goes unchecked.
• You'll establish strong relationships with stakeholders and customers.
• Having a wealth of experience in a similar role means you are able to recognise when team members need help and you'll support where needed.
• You're a natural leader, communicating brilliantly with your team and delegating to hit and exceed targets.
• Keeping a watchful eye over customer feedback means your team is always adapting to maintain high standards and improve where necessary.
• Peak season can get pretty busy, but you thrive when working under pressure.
• Communication is key, and you recognise the importance of being an effective listener - ensuring everyone is on the same page while remaining approachable and informative.
