General Manager - The Bluebird Inn
We’re looking for a passionate and dynamic General Manager to lead the thriving team at The Bluebird Inn.
The Bluebird Inn is a superb 20-bedroom property located between Blackburn and Preston. With the busy commuting route of the M6 nearby, adjacent commercial business parks, and local trade from Mellor and the surrounding locale, there’s a broad array of customer groups to target and maximise. With its great condition of trade areas, a cosy beer garden, and ample parking, our hotel is positioned in the heart of the community – that’s just waiting to be unlocked by the right leader.
To succeed in this role, you should have proven experience managing multi-unit teams in a fast-paced environment. Experience with letting rooms is beneficial but not essential.
What We Offer Our General Managers:
- Competitive pay plus cash tips and tronc (that’s your card tips that are paid into your bank)
- Excellent bonus earning potential
- Live in accommodation
- Healthcare Cash Plan giving you access to a 24-hour GP service and the ability to claim money back for dentist, eyecare and other medical appointments for you and your family
- 30% discount on food and drink across our pubs, inns and hotels for you and friends and family
- 50% off food when on shift
- Discounted stays in our hotels and inns
- Regular investment in our sites
- 24 hour confidential wellbeing support, plus counselling provided by the Licenced Trade Charity
- Great opportunities to grow in your role and progress your career with our internal and external development programmes
- Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption policies
- Access to JW BenefitHub, giving you access to a huge range of high street and online discounts
