Harper Inns is looking to meet exceptional General Managers as we continue to develop our growing collection of food-led pubs across South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire.

n

n

We currently have an immediate General Manager opportunity within the group and are also keen to speak to outstanding operators who may be interested in future opportunities across the estate.

n

n

We are not looking simply for someone who can run a shift.

n

We want commercially minded, hands-on General Managers who take genuine ownership of their business — people who care equally about the guest experience, their team, the numbers and the standards of the building they operate.

Who we're looking forn

You may already be an established General Manager, or you could be an exceptional Deputy General Manager ready to take the next step.

n

n

We're particularly interested in people with experience in quality, high-volume, food-led pubs, restaurants or similar hospitality businesses.

n

n

More than anything, we're looking for someone with:

n

    n

  • Strong commercial awareness
  • n

  • High personal standards
  • n

  • Excellent leadership skills
  • n

  • Confidence managing a sizeable team
  • n

  • A proper understanding of hospitality
  • n

  • The ability to identify problems and solve them without waiting to be told
  • n

  • Energy, personality and a genuine desire to make their business better
  • n

n

n

Harper Inns is an independent and growing hospitality group. As we expand, there will be genuine opportunities for strong operators to develop their careers with us.

n

n

If you're already doing well where you are but are curious about what your next move could look like, we'd still be very happy to have a confidential conversation.
