The role
You'll be the Clubhouse Manager's right hand, keeping the clubhouse, The Lounge and our event spaces running smoothly day to day. Rotas, ordering, hiring, training and developing the team are all yours.
You'll also look after bookings and sales for our smaller events, from parties to get-togethers, and turn enquiries into great days. You'll work alongside the Venue Sales Manager, who leads on corporate and bigger-ticket events.
Who we are
Pyrford Lakes is part of Get Golfing, a charity with one simple belief: golf should be for everyone. We run 13 venues with 7,000 members and 160,000+ visitors a year, and a team of 600 people. Our profits go back into our venues, our courses, our people and community projects close to home.
It's a big, busy, fun place to work. Come and see for yourself at getgolfing.org.
What you'll be doing
Running the place
- Leading the day-to-day across the clubhouse and events, and making sure everything inside and out looks the part.
- Owning stock: ordering, wastage and monthly counts.
- Coaching and developing the team, and helping them hit their KPIs.
- Making sure our food and drink keeps hitting the mark with guests, and that quality never slips.
- Working with the Clubhouse Manager to keep budgets on track, including labour, food costs, payroll and bar margins.
- Owning the guest experience across the clubhouse and Function Suite.
- Keeping us safe and legal: health & safety, food hygiene, licensing, and making sure the team keeps up with their online training.

What you'll bring

- Real food and drink know-how: restaurant and bar management, stock control and looking after a team.
- The confidence to make decisions and get on with it.
Skills
- Great at organising your time and other people's: rotas, priorities, multiple things at once, all at pace.
- A natural with people. Outgoing, approachable and easy to talk to, whether it's members, guests, clients or your team.
- Commercially switched on: upselling, cost control, revenue and what makes a margin in F&B and events.
- Confident with suppliers, inventory and keeping presentation and hygiene standards high.
- Comfortable with CRM and booking systems, Microsoft Office and basic reporting on enquiries and operations.
- A solid grasp of health & safety, food hygiene and licensing. Level 2 or 3 food hygiene is a bonus.
