We’re looking for an Assistant Manager to help us deliver experiences that delight. This exciting role will see you work in an inspiring part of the world, motivating a team of passionate people while supporting and occasionally stepping in for the General Manager. 

Nestled in the heart of Hope Cove, a charming seaside village along South Devon’s stunning coastline, the Hope and Anchor is just steps away from golden sands and breath-taking views. This hidden gem features individually designed boutique bedrooms with ocean views and a warm, inviting pub atmosphere, perfect for both indoor and al fresco dining.

This is a unique opportunity to bring your proven leadership and culinary skill to a picturesque coastal setting. We also offer live-in accommodation with an ensuite room just a stone’s throw from the beach—ideal for those looking to fully embrace the coastal lifestyle.

About You: 

• Taking the helm when the General Manager is away, you motivate team members to deliver their best and ensure everything is running smoothly and efficiently.
• Creating a warm welcome to guests comes naturally to you, making every first impression count to ensure experiences delight from the get-go.
• Keeping a watchful eye over customer feedback means your team is always adapting to maintain high standards and improve where necessary.
• You go above and beyond to ensure a consistently high level of service, supporting the full team including Front and Back of House during peak times.
• You oversee the consistent production of a quality food offering and recognise the importance of the Kitchen Team.
• Having a wealth of experience in a similar role means you are able to recognise when team members need help and you’ll support where needed.
• A keen eye for detail means you keep all admin and cash management systems ticking along as they should, taking responsibility when the General Manager is away.
• You know health and safety regulations like the back of your hand.
• Team members see you as an inspiring role model and know they can depend on you for support and development.
• You take pride and responsibility for your own development, with an eye towards becoming a General Manager one day.

What we offer you in return: 

• 30% off food and drink in our pubs
• 50% off overnight stays in our pubs
• £150 towards a stay in one of our pubs
• Tips
