Ready to take the next step in your pub career?
We’re looking for an Assistant Manager to join the team at the iconic Turf Tavern in Oxford – a pub with a story like no other. Tucked away in the heart of Oxford, the Turf Tavern dates all the way back to 1381 and is one of the city’s most historic and recognisable pubs. With its characterful rooms, courtyard beer gardens, great food and fantastic drinks range, this is a venue that keeps customers coming back.
Job Description
As Assistant Manager, you’ll work closely with the General Manager to help lead the day-to-day running of the pub. You’ll be hands-on, visible and ready to lead from the front – making sure the team has everything they need to deliver great service and an excellent customer experience.
From coaching and developing your team to supporting with service, standards and the overall running of the business, you’ll play a key role in making sure the Turf Tavern continues to be a place customers love to visit.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Supervisor or Assistant Manager who’s ready to take the next step and build their career with Greene King.
Qualifications
As an Assistant Manager, you’ll play a key role in running the day-to-day operation, supporting the General Manager and leading the team to deliver great service, great food and a brilliant customer experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
