Bishopstrow Hotel - Assistant Restaurant Manager

Be our Assistant Restaurant Manager, but most importantly be you!

Voted into The Times' 100 Best Places, Bishopstrow is a whimsical country house hotel set within 30 acres of glorious Wiltshire countryside, and there's genuinely nowhere quite like it. Gregarious rooms, a beautiful spa, The Grill restaurant and a kitchen garden that feeds our menus, all wrapped up in Georgian elegance with a healthy dose of colour and imagination.

It's an exciting time to be joining us. We've recently completed a significant investment in our spa, grounds and new spaces for guests to eat, drink and unwind. With more to offer our guests than ever before, we're looking for someone to help us make the most of it all.

What's it like to work here?

Much like the hotel itself – imaginative, warm and never boring. We're a playful team who back each other to stay unconventional, whether you're brand new to hospitality or this is your life's work.

Our community is diverse, inclusive and genuinely big-hearted; the kind of place where you're encouraged to be fully, unapologetically yourself.

We care deeply about our guests, each other and the wider community. And yes, we're absolutely serious about giving people a bloody good time.

What we're looking for

• Previous experience as a Restaurant Supervisor, Assistant Restaurant Manager or in a similar hospitality role.

• Someone who genuinely enjoys looking after people, whether that's our guests or the team around them.

• A good understanding of food, drink and quality service, ideally gained in a hotel or restaurant environment.

• Great communication skills and a positive, hands-on approach.

• Someone who takes pride in the little details but doesn't take themselves too seriously.

• Flexibility to work across a variety of shifts, including evenings and weekends.

Most importantly, we want someone who brings their own personality, enjoys being part of a team and is excited to grow with us.

What you'll get for being yourself

• Monthly service payments as well as monthly pay – our tronc really adds up!

• Free parking for team members.

• Flexible working hours across a 5-out-of-7-day rota.

• You'll be fed by our chefs when you're on duty.

• Progression and training opportunities throughout Kaleidoscope Collection.

• Discounts on eating, drinking and sleeping at all our properties.

• Welcome Wellbeing – our Employee Assistance Programme.
