Job description

The Botanist Ipswich are recruiting a General Manager!

What will you do?

As a General Manager at The Botanist, you are the leader of everything within your unit. You have a proven track record in developing people which will serve you well in your site and allow you to focus on the bigger picture.

You will have full autonomy over your P+L and ensure that all targets are met in terms of financial performance. This role, however, is in no way an Office one. You are expected to be leading from the front at all times in your site.

Although you are an expert in finance, you will spend the majority of your time with your people to make sure your teams are as bought into success as you are.

Working with your management team, you will ensure that the development of your team is happening with appraisals and performance chats, promoting the development of Future managers. All HR matters will fall to you so ownership over your whole unit is a must. You will work to have a constant stream of people ready to take their next career steps, even if this means promoting to a new site for their next opportunity.

Why join us?

• Salary circa £50,000 plus tronc and benefits
• GM Bonus Scheme (market leading)
• 50% discount you and up to 5 guests when dining at any of our restaurants.
• Free meals on shift - no ‘family’ meal here, you’ll chose from some of our most loved classics.
• Your birthday (and the day after) are guaranteed off!
• Education subsidies support you in achieving your personal growth goals.

It doesn’t end there... we’ve partnered with the best!

• Access to the TRONC pot via TiPJAR
• Stream helps you plan your finances while offering discounts on market leading brands! You can also withdraw up to 50% of your live earnings if you need that immediate cash boost.
• Hospitality Action are ready to make sure you can get help with personal issues from finance to free counselling sessions – all anonymously.

We continue to break the mould of the modern restaurant. This means that not only do we encourage individuality, we value it! And believe our business thrives on it – from the spaces we create for guests, to the careers we build for our people – you are your only limit!
