Company Description
Join us at Greene King pubs, where we have always been the beacon for communities, wherever people want to come together. Our collection of community pubs are the heart and soul of the local area around them, helmed by a local hero and crewed by a team always ready with your favourite tipple. Our pubs embody the true meaning of a local pub, acting as a central hub where locals can enjoy one of our events, a feast of lovingly cooked food or a quick catch up with friends over a drink.
The Governor's House is a busy pub with dining area, large garden, sport, and 10 hotel rooms, located in leafy Cheadle Hulme and within close proximity to Manchester and Manchester Airport, and surrounding Cheshire.
Job Description
We are looking for a new Team Leader to join our experienced and welcoming team here at the Governor's House, on either a part-time or full-time basis. We are a busy pub, with up to six screens for sport, 75-cover dining area, 200-cover garden, and 10 hotel rooms.
You must have at least a year's experience in a similar role - leading team, and managing shifts, preferably with prior experience working in a table service environment. Experience with the hotel side of the operation is not necessary, as training will be provided.
You’ll lead by example, making sure the team have everything they need so the shift runs like clockwork! You’ll make sure the team maintain high standards and that our customers are kept happy.
Opening shifts start from 06.45am, whilst closes finish up to 1am at weekends - an ability to get to and from the pub, where public transport is limited, at these times is essential.
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.
