We’re about much more than hospitality! We’re striving to make life better for people – whether they are team, guests or community, through our everyday actions and decisions. Our team care for others, bring their best and help us move forward, whatever job they do.

We’re looking for a Deputy General Manager who is passionate about people, hospitality, and creating a workplace where teams thrive. If you want to be part of a business that genuinely puts its people first — while delivering standout guest experiences — this could be the perfect role for you.

What you’ll be doing

As our Deputy General Manager, you will:

• Support the General Manager in leading daily hotel operations, taking full responsibility in their absence


• Oversee and support department heads across Reception, Front of House, Housekeeping, Weddings Events, Spa and the Health club.

• Manage guest relations, resolving escalated complaints promptly and professionally


• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and controlling departmental costs

• Lead by example, fostering a positive, high\-performing team culture


• General management duties relating to your role

We are looking for candidates with a hospitality background and experience at a deputy general manager, operations manager or equivalent level.

However we believe that while experience matters — what matters even more is your attitude.

We want someone who believes in a better kind of hospitality: one where people are respected, supported, and developed. Someone who cares about the team as much as the guests and who wants to help build a workplace that sets the standard for our industry.

If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

What you’ll get from us

• Free meals and hot/soft drinks on shift.


• A voice that matters, through regular surveys, feedback sessions, and open conversations.

• Real opportunities for growth, with learning and development pathways designed to support your long\-term career.
