Assistant Manager
Salary: £31,000 - £34,750 + Bonus (Pro Rata)
Company Description
The Horseshoe in Downend is a proper community pub with friendly service, honest prices, and a loyal local following. From lively Friday nights and live sport to DJ nights, charity fundraisers, and events throughout the year, there's always something happening — and we're looking for an Assistant Manager who can bring the energy, lead from the front, and help make every visit a great one.
Job Description
🍻 What's the opportunity?
The Horseshoe is a busy, wet-led pub where personality, pace, and people skills really matter. With a younger crowd bringing plenty of energy on Friday and Saturday nights, we're looking for someone confident, hands-on, and comfortable managing a lively atmosphere.
As Assistant Manager, you'll work alongside the team on the pub floor, not from behind an office desk. You'll be visible, approachable, and ready to get stuck in — whether that's serving customers, supporting the team during a busy shift, or making sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.
You'll be responsible for:
- Supporting the General Manager with the day-to-day running of the pub and stepping up in their absence.
- Leading from the front, working alongside the team, and setting the standard for great service.
- Creating a welcoming atmosphere and building strong relationships with our regulars and local community.
- Managing busy shifts confidently, particularly during lively Friday and Saturday nights.
- Understanding the atmosphere, reading situations, and handling challenging moments calmly and professionally.
- Keeping standards high across service, cleanliness, safety, and compliance.
- Making the most of live sport, DJ nights, and events to drive trade and create memorable experiences.
- Helping organize and deliver community events and charity fundraisers, including our popular Macmillan events.
- Coaching and motivating the team, helping everyone develop and perform at their best.

Qualifications
👊 What we're looking for
We're looking for someone with personality, confidence, and a genuine passion for pubs. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, but you do need to be comfortable engaging with customers, leading a team, and taking control when the pub gets busy.
Ideally, you'll have:
- Previous experience in a hospitality supervisory or management role.
- Confidence working in a busy, wet-led pub, bar, or similar environment.
- A hands-on approach — you're happiest out on the floor, working alongside your team.
- Strong people skills and the ability to communicate with a wide range of customers.
- The confidence to manage lively environments and deal with situations calmly and fairly.
- A customer-first mindset and a real eye for service standards.
