Assistant Manager

Located in leafy Barnes, The Bridge is a welcome respite from London's bustle. A friendly local, we welcome you for a leisurely weekday lunch or cosy dinner in front of the open fire in our historic Boathouse Dining Room. Renowned for our hearty Sunday roasts, good quality local ales as well as our craft beer selection, our menus are brimming with fresh ingredients and home cooked treats.

Our walled beer garden, and restaurant are available for wedding and event hire, as are our eight boutique bedrooms.

At Young's Pubs
, we’ve been running some of the best-loved pubs in London and the South of England for nearly 200 years. We’re passionate about great people, beautiful pubs, and creating experiences that keep guests coming back time and time again.

Now we’re looking for a commercially driven Assistant Manager to help shape the future of The Bridge — our characterful pub-with-rooms in the heart of Barnes.

This is more than a support role. It’s an opportunity to take ownership, build momentum and make a real mark.

With a large destination garden, eight boutique bedrooms and a strong local following, The Bridge has all the ingredients of an exceptional community pub. What it needs is an ambitious leader who can help unlock its full potential.

It’s a business with room to grow — across food, drink, events and rooms — and we’re looking for someone entrepreneurial enough to see the opportunity and confident enough to drive it.

As Assistant Manager, you’ll work closely with the General Manager to:

• Lead from the front on service, standards and team culture
• Drive sales through local partnerships, events and smart commercial thinking
• Build meaningful relationships with our pub and rooms guests
• Oversee the day-to-day operation of both the pub and our 8-bedroom hotel offer
• Analyse performance and spot opportunities to grow revenue

At Young’s, we empower our managers to think like business owners. You won’t just run shifts — you’ll influence strategy, shape the guest experience and help build a thriving local hub.

• Proven hospitality management experience
• Strong commercial acumen and a proactive mindset
• Confidence in driving sales in a quieter trading environment
• Experience or understanding of hotel/rooms operations
• A natural host who thrives on community engagement
• Energy, resilience and ambition

You’ll be joining a company that invests in its people, develops talent from within and believes that pubs are at the heart of every great community.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your management career — and want to be part of a business where your ideas, energy and leadership genuinely matter — we’d love to hear from you.

Build something brilliant with us at The Bridge.
