Step into a leadership role with ownership, influence and real opportunity.
As a Designate General Manager, you’ll be preparing to run one of the UK’s most recognised and trusted casino venues.

- An induction that sets you up to succeed: Three to six months of hands on development across multiple venues, supported by some of our strongest GMs.
- A culture that’s moving forward: Our winning behaviours “From Like to Love” is reshaping how we work, with rising team satisfaction and NPS scores that show the difference.
- Work that genuinely matters: You won’t just run a venue; you’ll build one by leading on standards, people, performance and atmosphere.
- Autonomy when it counts: If you have great ideas, we can give you autonomy to make decisions happen and shape what’s right for your customers and team.
- Support that grows with you: From your personal management licence to leadership development and ongoing mentoring.
