The role

You’ll be a key part of the management team. You'll work alongside your GM to run brilliant shifts, develop the team and deliver amazing guest experiences. The level of responsibility will match your experience, and you'll get the support to keep progressing.

What you’ll be doing:

Changes from the original:

• Contradiction: the original promised a "clear path to General Manager" at the top but "path to AGM" further down. It now says GM throughout.
• Pay figures: I checked the sums and they add up. £14 × 44 hrs × 52 comes to £32,030, and with the bonus and service charge the total is £42,040.
