Description
Motivation, guidance, inspiration, and leadership: our managers have the attributes to bring the best out of our team members and ensure we provide our customers with outstanding service.

We are seeking a General Manager who possesses excellent people management skills, demonstrate a high degree of computer literacy, and have the verbal and written communication skills to communicate with customers confidently and effectively. A strong track record in management of cafes or restaurants is essential, as is a proven ability to develop, train, and motivate staff.

This role will be based at our cafe based at Jersey Airport, as well as some shifts at our cafes in St Helier. Candidates must be prepared to start some shifts at 5:00am or 6:00am, and will also need to provide 5 years' checkable employment references and complete a criminal record check through Disclosure Scotland in order to obtain an Airside Pass.

What we offer:

This role has an annual basic salary of £45,000.

Our managers, head chefs, and senior employees participate in our Quarterly Bonus Scheme, with on-target bonuses of up to 20% (or more) of salary dependent on restaurant trade and individual performance, with potential 10-20% bonuses bringing on-target earnings to between £49,500 and £54,000 per annum.

Our employees also have access to a generous benefits package, including:
• Meals provided while on duty
• Staff discount across our restaurant and café businesses
• Christmas Day, as well as your birthday (after one year’s employment)

It's important to say that we've moved away from tips, and for good reason: our team's remuneration is written into contracts and bonus schemes, and isn't reliant on gratuities - for more information go to https://jprestaurants.com/news/living-wage-employers

Right to work:

This is an imminent hire and, as such, we regret that there would not be enough time to acquire a work permit and visa for a candidate. Applicants to this particular role should have the immediate right to work in Jersey or the United Kingdom (Jersey, UK, or Irish passport; EU Settled or Pre-Settled Status; or Indefinite Leave to Remain).

Throughout the year, we advertise a variety of roles where we are able to apply for a work permit and visa in time; if you do not have the immediate right to work in Jersey or the UK, please instead apply to one of our "Fixed-term" vacancies at https://harri.com/jprestaurants

Contract and hours:

This is a permanent, full-time role.

A work-life balance is important to everyone in the business and, while we appreciate when colleagues can help out further in busier periods, we strive to ensure that everyone works a 5-day week on a regular basis.

Accommodation:

The Company can arrange accommodation for those moving to Jersey. Accommodation is more expensive in Jersey than other parts of the British Isles, and accommodation in the local market ranges from approximately £700 (single room) to £1,500 (one-bedroom flat) per month.

Our business:

JPRestaurants operates restaurants and cafes in Jersey (Channel Islands, British Isles), serving fresh, innovative, and healthy food to thousands of customers and visitors each year.

Our restaurants offer premium-casual dining experiences in unique and captivating settings: Oyster Box, on the edge of St Brelade’s Bay, Banjo, a grand brasserie in the heart of St Helier, and Jersey Crab Shack, also on the beach of St Brelade’s Bay. Our Café Ubé outlets (located at Jersey Airport, Elizabeth Ferry Terminal, and across St Helier) serve a range of coffees, hot and cold drinks, and fresh and homemade Grab & Go breakfast and lunch items.

We offer fantastic choice for customers with allergies and dietary requirements, and provide our teams with detailed specifications and information for addressing queries. Across all of our restaurants and cafes, we’ve placed an emphasis on digitalisation and processes, in order to enhance our customers’ experience, ensure our service runs smoothly, and build a better working environment for our colleagues.

JPRestaurants has over 75 years of history, starting in 1946 as a small, family-owned pottery studio which become one of the Island's busiest and most popular tourist attractions. The coffee bar on the site of the ceramics factory and showroom was the beginning of Jersey Pottery Restaurants (which is now called JPRestaurants), which is still family-owned and managed by the third generation. As an established and popular local business, we look to work for the benefit of our community and environment through careful management of our suppliers, good working conditions, and initiatives to support others less fortunate than us.
