Located in the heart of Cardiff, just moments from Cardiff Market and the iconic Principality Stadium, The Glassworks is a lively, welcoming pub where there's always something happening.
We serve traditional British pub favourites, from classic fish and chips and hearty pies to juicy burgers. With live sport on Sky Sports and TNT Sports, live music, quiz nights and outdoor seating, we're a great place for guests to come together, relax and enjoy themselves.
We're looking for an enthusiastic Assistant Manager to support the General Manager, lead from the front and help deliver brilliant experiences for our guests and team.
What's the opportunity?
As Assistant Manager, you'll play an important role in the day-to-day running of The Glassworks, helping to create a fantastic atmosphere, develop your team and drive business performance.
Lead from the front: Motivate and inspire the team to deliver excellent service and make every guest feel welcome.
Help run a busy pub: Support the General Manager with daily operations, leading shifts and keeping everything running smoothly.
Create memorable experiences: Make sure guests enjoy every visit, whether they're catching the match, joining a quiz night or stopping by for a meal.
Drive business performance: Help manage sales, labour costs, stock and profitability, making the most of opportunities to grow the business.
Develop your team: Coach and support team members, helping them build their confidence and progress in their careers.
Maintain high standards: Take pride in the pub's presentation, cleanliness, safety and compliance.
Build a great team culture: Create a positive working environment where people feel supported, valued and motivated to succeed.
What we're looking for
Ideally, you'll have previous experience in hospitality, such as a pub, bar, restaurant or similar environment, and be ready to take the next step in your management career.
We're looking for someone who is hands-on, enjoys working with people and has the confidence to help lead a busy pub.
You'll also bring:
