The Grove Lock, Grove, Leighton Buzzard LU7 0QU

General Manager - Live in

Up to £46,500 plus bonus and great benefits

Join Fuller’s: Where the true you thrives and diversity is embraced. At Fuller’s we don't just offer jobs, we invite you to celebrate your authentic self. Our four core values – doing things the right way, being part of the family, celebrating individuality and always asking what’s next? – define the essence of who we are.

Set on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, just outside the thriving market town of Leighton Buzzard, The Grove Lock is one of Fuller’s most picturesque destination pubs. Surrounded by beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, it is a busy, premium food-led business with a strong seasonal trade, welcoming walkers, cyclists, boaters and families throughout the year. This live-in General Manager opportunity includes a private two-bedroom cottage and the chance to lead one of our flagship destination pubs in an exceptional waterside setting.

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.
