As an Area Manager here at Ember you’ll lead a district of 14 pubs in our North East District, where- no two days are the same. Through your passion, experience and leadership, you’ll inspire your teams to grow and develop, serve up great guest experiences and smash targets each and every day. But most importantly- you'll know how to have fun and celebrate success as a team when all the hard work pays off.

This district takes in the very best of the North East with fantastic pubs in Whitley Bay, Hull, Leeds, New Castle Upon Tyne, Durham, Doncaster, Hartlepool, Redcar and Ambleside.

Join us at Ember Inns, we’re a home away from home. Think real ales, traditional pub food and roaring open fires and glorious pub gardens: we’re the local to be proud of.

What’s in it for me… 

• Generous Bonus Scheme – We’re all about rewarding the hard work everybody puts in
• Flexible working – to fit around the other important things in life
• Buy up to an extra 2 weeks holiday – life is for living after all
• Structured development and support- so you can get to where you want to go
• Celebrating success– award nights, away days and team socials (work hard, play hard!)
• Private medical and Dental Plans - to keep you safe, secure and always smiling
• On top of all this, we offer a pension; 26 days paid holiday; high-street shopping discounts; and we even give you free shares! There's also a free employee helpline to support you with whatever life throws at you.

What will I be doing…?

Your job will be so varied and rewarding that this little taster will never do it justice, but we'll give it our best shot.

• Making sure your teams bring their ‘A’ game when it comes to food, drink and service quality, always delivered with passion and pride
• Leading a diverse team of roughly 400 across 14 sites in the North East
• Driving people succession through your district through coaching and mentoring
• You’ll spend time across your district supporting your teams, making sure they’re the best they can be and working together to deliver results to be proud of
• Driving a commercial culture- where delivering consistent high standards, sales and profit are at the heart of everything we do
• You’ll ensure your teams maintain a safe, clean and risk-free environment

What do I need…?

• Be able to recruit, retain and engage the best of the best
• Be agile and adaptable as our teams & guests needs
• Be an inspiring leader that demonstrates drive, energy and commitment whatever the day brings
• Share the bigger picture to inspire and empower your team  
• Have a good grasp of the Ember Inns offer and guest profile
• Have proven track record of delivering sales and profit building in a multi-site environment
• Have strong analytical, problem solving and decision-making skills

Life is made up of many key ingredients, we know that work is just one of them. It’s our aim that you and your teams love what you do because we’re all about creating moments to remember. We know its cliché, but here at M&B it really is the people that make it so worthwhile. When you join us, you become part of our work family, not only with the team you work with every day but 44,000 of us up and down the country.  

At M&B we value the unique perspectives each person brings. We believe that by fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and allyship, we create a sense of belonging, engagement and teamwork which are essential to delivering great guest experiences. Join us and be a part of a great team. You don’t have to take our word for it, why not take a look on socials @LifeAtMAB  and find out what it’s really like to work with us.
