The Woolpack Inn is a charming and well-established countryside pub nestled in the beautiful Hampshire countryside, just 10 minutes from Alresford and 30 minutes from Winchester. Following an exciting major refurbishment and relaunch in August, we are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Assistant Manager to help lead our front-of-house team through this pivotal chapter.

• Supporting the GM in the relaunch, including training, setup, and soft opening phases

• Leading shifts and motivating the FOH team to deliver consistent, high-quality service

• Overseeing bookings, events (e.g. weddings, shoot parties), and daily operations

• Supporting with recruitment, training, rotas, and stock control

• Managing social media and marketing responsibilities (if suited to your skill set)

• Acting as a Duty Manager and keyholder when required

• A confident, driven Assistant Manager (or experienced Supervisor ready to step up)

• Minimum 2 years’ experience in a similar pub or restaurant environment

• Strong understanding of food, beverage, and service standards

• A positive, hands-on attitude and great people skills

• Experience with events, hotel rooms, or social media is a bonus

• Passion for hospitality and a desire to grow with an ambitious business

• Competitive salary + generous tips

• The chance to be part of a major relaunch — great for your CV and future opportunities

• A supportive, forward-thinking team culture

• Beautiful rural setting with a well-established customer base

• Real opportunity to shape the pub’s future and grow within the business
