Job description

General Manager - Up to 55k plus bonus. Live in Available.

We're looking for a General Manager for the Grand Junction Arms in Harlesden in the new year. This is a real destination social pub. It has a great intimate bar area, a generously sized dining room and a terrace space that can be indoors or outdoors (with walls and a retractable roof). Aside from that it has a MASSIVE beer garden, complete with bookable huts, canal side tables - there's even a stage (and a late outdoor entertainments licence!)

The perfect pub for a creative sales driver who has volume experience, is driven to maximise sales, and above all else ensures that every visit to the Grand Junction Arms means our guests leave planning when they'll visit again. A beast of a pub that has a growing reputation that is ready to be taken to the next level.

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. As the successful General Manager, you will embrace the autonomy given to run your business and offer unique ideas to drive your team to success. 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.

Thanks for your interest in working with Youngs. If you’d like to be part of our team, then apply now!
