We are investing in our F&B offering the the hotel this year, and we need a charismatic hospitality superstar to help deliver our new 2026 offerings across our restaurant, bar and terrace.

• Leading a team of circa 40, making sure everyone is in the right place, at the right time
• Developing a successor- mentoring them so they can be the future once the project is complete and you look for the next challenge beyond (which could be at another Signet property in the future...who knows!) 

We can offer you:

• An amazing opportunity of joining and being part of a very exciting adventure.  
• A great salary for the project role. 
• Access personalised training, buddy programmes, clear career paths and genuine opportunities for your development. 
• Discounted rates across our restaurants and hotels for you, family and friends to enjoy.

• Flexible scheduling without split shifts.  
• Complimentary team meals on shift.
• Long Service Awards - lunches for two with all the trimmings, complimentary room stays with breakfast and dinner, Lion King tickets to the West End, and so much more.
• Industry supplier trips and visits, as well as access to masterclasses and workshops.
• Flexibility to move across our Group, as you develop with us. 
• Access to apprenticeships and accredited qualifications up to Level 4. 

You will be: 

• An inspirational leader, with management experience from a premium F&B outlet. 
• Able to motivate a team to deliver an excellent guest experience.
• Approachable and passionate with an enthusiastic, positive manner.
• Responsible for line managing the F&B Managers and Supervisors on the day to day. 
• Able to lead F&B management meetings and briefings, plan ahead and create effective marketing strategies.
• Ensure company standards are consistently delivered and HODs deliver the relevant training to our team members
• Recruit, and develop your Food and Beverage team. 
• Support the General Manager by being accountable for departmental targets and objectives, work schedules, budgets, and SOPs
