Crowne Plaza Nottingham is a 210-room, 4-star city centre hotel with 17 meeting spaces for up to 400 delegates, two restaurants, and a full-service spa — this is a property with genuine scale and complexity, and it needs a General Manager who can run all of it at once.

The Role

  • Setting and maintaining brand standards in line with IHG's Crowne Plaza requirements
  • Leading recruitment, development, and performance management for heads of department
  • Building relationships with corporate and events clients to support the hotel's conference and meetings business
  • Acting as the senior point of contact for ownership/Valor Hospitality leadership on performance, compliance, and strategy
  • Overseeing health & safety, licensing, and statutory compliance across the property

Supporting Your Hospitality Career Growth

About the Hotel

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.
