Job description

General Manager - Up to 50K - Live In - plus up to 100% bonus

We're looking for a General Manager for the charming City Gate, close to Exeter's historic city centre. The City Gate has a sun trap of a courtyard, 20 boutique bedrooms and a private cellar bar full of character and charm that can be hired for private events, parties and weddings. This business has gone from strength to strength under our previous GM, who is moving on to new opportunities, and is perfectly positioned for the right person to come in and continue to drive the pub forward.

We're looking for a people-focused GM that has experience running a pub and is used to working with fresh food to continue to develop this traditional yet quirky community site which is a firm favourite for locals and visitors alike. A great opportunity for someone that runs a great pub to challenge themselves in running a pub with rooms, and is willing to embed themselves within the Exeter community.

Running a Pub for Young's:

We believe pubs should be differentiated and individual and so we are looking for entrepreneurial General Managers to put their own stamp on our businesses. We're all about freedom within a framework - you decide what goes on the food menu - and that doesn't mean picking from a bank of recipes! You tailor your offer to your guests and grow the business in line with your business vision! You decide what events and sales driving to do, what the team uniform is, and look after all your own recruitment and marketing. If you are a people-focused Pub General Manager with fresh food experience, then we want to hear from you.

What We Offer Our General Managers:

• Huge annual bonus potential - up to 100% of your salary!
• Private Health Insurance
• Enhanced Company Pension Scheme
• Life Assurance Scheme
• 20% discount in all Young's pubs and 30% discount on overnight stays in our Pubs with Rooms
• Access to our Share Save Scheme
• Access to our Career Pathway and Training and Development Courses

What we look for in a General Manager:

We are looking for a creative & entrepreneurial General Manager to join and lead our team in our stylish, food focused pub.

You will have a genuine passion for exceptional customer service and a pro-active approach to team management. You will recruit & develop your team to ensure they have the knowledge needed to delight our customers. You will also be someone who is committed to their career in hospitality and we can offer ongoing development to support you as you grow and succeed with us.
