Assistant Manager in Training– Rockfish
This is the perfect destination for seafood lovers. Our restaurant overlooks the ocean, and is right next door to the National Marine Aquarium where you can see fish from all over the world and learn about the great work they do in preserving and managing our marine environment. The famous Plymouth fish market is just feet from our front door and from Rockfish you can watch the boats land. We have 120 covers at this restaurant, 50 in the takeaway and seating for 100 outside for guests using our takeaway and bar to use. In the colder months our restaurant is heated by log burner which makes it a cozy environment to enjoy great seafood with a view of the ocean.
Rockfish is one of the UK’s Top 50 Best Companies to work for — and we’re growing. Led by seafood expert Mitch Tonks, we catch, process and serve the freshest local seafood across 12 award-winning coastal restaurants.
We’re passionate about people, sustainability, and unforgettable dining experiences. If you’re a leader who thrives in a culture-led, high-energy environment, this is your chance to make waves.
The Role
As Manager in Training, you will support the General Manager in creating a restaurant environment where the team is inspired to care about what they do through motivating, training and leading by example all the way.
