The Mansion House is more than just a restaurant. With stunning dedicated event spaces, we are looking for a commercially minded leader who can maximise booking opportunities, develop local partnerships and help establish the business as a destination venue for celebrations, corporate events, and community occasions.

  • A massive 33% discount across all our brands.
  • 20% discount for you and up to five friends and family.
  • Discounts on gym memberships.
  • Team social events – work hard, play hard!

As part of Mitchells & Butlers you will receive a pension, 28 days paid holiday, high‑street shopping discounts, free shares and a free employee helpline to support you with whatever life throws at you.

What will I be doing?
  • Support the General Manager in the day‑to‑day running of the business, training and inspiring the team to deliver excellent food, drink and service.
  • Lead from the front as a role model and drive team development, ensuring guests are cared for and have memorable experiences.
  • Drive sales growth by maximising opportunities within the events space and converting enquiries into bookings.
  • Build relationships within the local community, developing partnerships with businesses, organisations and groups to increase awareness and generate new business.
  • Support planning, coordination and delivery of events to exceed guest expectations.
  • Play a key role in preparing the business for the upcoming remodel, helping maximise the opportunities it creates for guests, team members and the business.
  • Strive towards and achieve business targets across sales, people and guest satisfaction.
What do I need?

It takes a mixture of ingredients to make the perfect dish, and our teams are no different.

  • Previous experience and confidence in managing a team.
  • Passion for hospitality.
  • Strong service orientation – a role model of giving great service.
  • Excellent communication skills.
