Assistant Restaurant Manager

At Hawksmoor Liverpool, we do things differently. We believe restaurants should be places where every detail makes people feel seen, known, and valued- turning ordinary moments into memorable ones through the power of hospitality. That goes for our team just as much as it does for our guests.

We’re looking for an exceptional Assistant Restaurant Manager to join our large, talented management team and help us keep pushing the standard for what brilliant hospitality looks and feels like.

You’ll be joining a large and experienced management team- including a Head Chef, Bar Manager, Wine Manager, Reservations Manager and Restaurant Manager – who all work closely to deliver outstanding service day in, day out. It’s a collaborative, high-performance environment where clear communication is key.

Who we’re looking for:

A natural leader who brings high standards, a calm presence and a genuine passion for hospitality. Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-performance environment but understands that our culture is just as important as our product. We’re after someone who works hard and lifts those around them- that combination matters deeply to us.

You’ll need prior Restaurant Manager experience and a proven track record of leading successful shifts, developing people, and delivering exceptional service. Many of our Assistant Managers join us from more senior roles elsewhere, drawn by the opportunity to work with brilliant people and grow with us.

Why Hawksmoor:

Shortly after being named the best steak restaurant in the world, we became a certified B Corp in 2022 and ranked as one of the top 100 Best Companies to work for over 13 years. This is alongside being rated as one of the most sustainable restaurant groups in the country and raising over £1 million for Action Against Hunger, as well as supporting several charities closer to home.

• We take development seriously- ARMs don’t just run great shifts, they learn to lead.
• You’ll be supported by a collaborative senior team and a business that genuinely invests in its people.
• We don’t want this to be just another job. We want it to be a step into a long, fulfilling career.
• If you're looking for a company where the people matter as much as the numbers, where leadership is shaped through real support and growth, and where culture is built not by posters on the wall but by the people in the room- we’d love to hear from you.

Benefits Include:

• Refer a friend bonus of from day 1
• Tronc paid for every hour you work, breaks and holidays
• Use of Wagestream to instantly access the wages you’ve earned  
• Discounted health and fitness benefits 
• Additional paid maternity and paternity leave to help you care for new additions to your family 
• Income protection insurance for critical illness and death benefit 
• Free meals when you’re at work,
• 50% off food in our restaurants for you and your loved ones 
• An optional 2 paid days each year to use for volunteering 
• Exclusive savings on travel, shopping, restaurants, and more 
• 28 days’ holiday that includes service charge
• A restaurant welfare budget allocated for healthy snacks, drinks and support during our busiest times of the year
• Huge investment in training and development with qualifications across Wine, H&S, Food Safety, HR and a five-stage management development programme, run in partnership with the Watershed Management School
• Access to counselling, remote GP/physio services, legal advice and more

We strive to be a company that is inclusive in terms of age, gender, identity, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and to create an environment where everyone, from any background, can be happy at work.
