Job description

The Alexandra in Clapham has been built on a reputation as one of the premier drinking holes to watch your favourite sport.

Football, rugby, hurling or whatever your sport of choice, we dedicate two large projector screens and five large HD screens to sport. It’s the next best thing to being at the game itself.

Positioned seconds walk from Clapham Common tube station and with excellent bus routes directly out front, The Alexandra makes a great meeting place for everyone.

As manager, you call the shots and make sure everything’s spot‑on. What weekly events are you running? What will you do for Valentine’s? Again, it’s up to you. Who’s working for you and what are they going to do next? Over to you once more.

So if you’ve got the get‑up‑and‑go to run your own business, you’re full of ideas and you’re laidback and cheery with customers, then this could be your big chance. You’ll take charge, and we’ll be on hand to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Is this you?

• Pubs are your thing. You’ll be a seasoned operator in a purely wet led operation.
• You stay one step ahead, setting clear goals for you, your pub and your team. You’re a planner and you meet your deadlines, every time.
• You’re full of ideas and know how to make them happen (and have proof that they worked in the past).
• You’re a friendly face who loves talking to customers and getting to know people.
• You have high standards when it comes to customer service.
• You get on well with clients and suppliers.
• You inspire people and know how to get a team working well together.
• You’ve got the basics covered: stock management, the quality of beer behind the bar, the systems that keep everything ticking.

What’s in it for you?

• A salary up there with the best of the rest.
• A bonus plan.
• A career: where are you heading next? We’ll help you get there.
• Paid holidays.
• Live in available
• Perks across the company.
• A top‑class management leadership programme.
• The chance to run your own business with the right support and experience to help you make it a success.

So who are we?

We’re Metropolitan Pub Company (or Metro Pub Co for short).You’ve probably never heard of us as a collective but that’s the way we like it! Our pubs are unique and individual and we wouldn’t want them to feel any other way. We’re massive advocates of local pubs being just that, local, with their own character and charm. We were acquired by Greene King in 2011 and have continued to flourish under their umbrella. We have around 65 "urban locals" where we are proud to create warm and friendly places our guests don’t want to leave and teams who feel exactly the same.

Here’s what you need:

• A National Insurance Number and bank account
• Good written and spoken English
• The right to work in the UK.
