Introduction

Do you have experience of leading a team to success and fancy making a move into the hospitality industry? Or maybe you already have experience in hospitality management and are ready to take the next step in your career?

The General Manager in Training is a crucial role within our business. As a General Manager in Training, you will embark on a comprehensive 12-week induction program, designed to develop the skills and knowledge you need to become a successful General Manager.

This role provides an excellent opportunity for those with strong leadership potential to progress within Mitchells & Butlers. Based within a district as a General Manager in Training, you will need to be able to drive and have access to your own vehicle as you will be working across a number of different businesses.

With the support of your area manager and armed with a training plan, you will grow your teams and smash your targets. This business is part of our Innkeepers Collection with a 12-room hotel attached, and therefore Management roles will support the hotel as part of the business.

About the Business

Join us at Ember Inns, a local to be proud of. Think traditional pub grub, roaring fires, and real ales set at the heart of the community. If you want to be part of the Inn crowd, we want to hear from you.

Progression

Upon successful completion of the 12-week induction program, you will be assessed for your readiness to take on a General Manager role. If you've smashed your training plan, you'll be considered for available General Manager positions to take on a business of your own.

Alternatively, individuals may be considered for Deputy or Assistant Manager positions based on their performance and development needs.
