Assistant Restaurant General Manager - (North East)

Description

Imagine a role where you're at the heart of a fast-paced restaurant, supporting the team, driving performance and creating an environment where both colleagues and guests can thrive.

No two days are the same. One moment you’re coaching team members and helping them develop their skills, the next you’re supporting operational excellence, analysing performance, or ensuring every guest receives a great experience.

As Assistant Restaurant General Manager, you'll play a key role in the success of the restaurant, working closely with the Restaurant General Manager to lead the team, deliver commercial results and create a positive, high-performing culture.

If you enjoy leading from the front, developing people and making things happen, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

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.
