About Us
Flint Cottage is a buzzing sports pub and kitchen in the heart of High Wycombe. We're the local go-to for live sport, proper pints, and hearty pub food. Whether it's football, rugby, F1, boxing, darts or tennis – if it's live, it's on at Flint Cottage. We pride ourselves on great vibes, passionate staff, and a welcoming atmosphere for sports fans of all kinds.
The Role
We're looking for an energetic and experienced Assistant Manager who lives and breathes hospitality – and loves their sport just as much as their service. You'll help lead the team and support the General Manager in delivering an exceptional guest experience, especially on busy match days.
We want someone who can help us take things up a level – not just keeping the place running smoothly, but coming up with fresh ideas to drive sales, increase footfall, and build our local reputation. Think quiz nights, comedy nights, themed sporting events, and match-day specials – if you've got the ideas, we want to hear them.
What We're Looking For
* A genuine passion for live sports – you know your fixtures and can chat footy, rugby or F1 with guests
* Strong drink knowledge – from pints and spirits to craft beer and cocktails
* Previous hospitality or pub management experience
* A creative thinker with ideas to boost trade through events and promotions
* Confident leading a team, staying cool under pressure, and keeping service slick
* Friendly, approachable, and driven to make every guest feel like a regular
Key Responsibilities
* Support the General Manager with the day-to-day running of the pub
* Lead and inspire the front-of-house team, especially during live sports events
* Maintain high standards of customer service and cleanliness
* Manage stock, rotas, ordering, and cash handling
* Uphold health & safety and licensing standards
* Take the lead on event planning and promotions – from quiz nights and live music to big match screenings and themed evenings
What We Offer
* Competitive salary (based on experience)
* Tips and generous staff discounts
* Opportunities for progression in a growing business
* A vibrant, sports-mad atmosphere with a strong local following
* The freedom to bring your ideas to life and shape the future of Flint Cottage
