Ready to Lead, Learn & Hit the Road?
If you love variety, thrive in new environments, and want to grow with a business that’s going places—this is your moment.
We’re searching for a General Manager Designate to join our fast-growing pub family across Hampshire & Surrey. This is not your standard GM role. Think of it as your passport to leadership adventure—supporting multiple pubs, inspiring different teams, delighting guests, and learning every corner of our business. Within 12 months, you could be running your very own pub.
Why You’ll Love It Here
* Up to £40,000 per year + Tronc + travel expenses
* Variety – no two weeks the same as you work across different pubs
* 40% off meals for you & up to 6 friends + hotel discounts
* 20% off for friends & family at all Upham Inns
* Lifestyle Card – over 5,000 discounts from high street to local gems
* Service awards, birthday treats & referral bonuses (up to £1,000 for chefs!)
* Clear pathways from apprenticeships to senior leadership
* Be part of a growing brand – your career grows as we do
What We’re Looking For
* A hospitality pro—either an experienced GM or a Deputy Manager ready to step up
* A hands-on leader who rolls up their sleeves and gets stuck in
* Proven ability to grow sales, manage P&L, and balance labour with performance
* People skills that win over teams and guests alike
* Flexibility to adapt and travel across our pubs
* A clean driving licence and the right to work in the UK
Your Adventure Includes
* Taking charge at different pubs and leaving each one better than you found it
* Leading, motivating, and inspiring teams to deliver unforgettable moments
* Building community connections and making every pub feel like home
* Owning everything from guest journey to stock control, safety checks, and team growth
* Always leading from the front—whether on the floor, in the kitchen, or behind the scenes
