Job Description

Senior Hotel Manager / Operations Manager / General Manager (Hospitality to Property Transition) £46,000-£50,000 + 10% Bonus (after first year) + Benefits Monday-Friday Excellent Work-Life Balance

Are you a high-performing Hotel Manager, Operations Manager or General Manager ready to step away from long shifts, late nights and weekend working - without losing the buzz of leading teams and running a fast-paced operation?

This is a rare opportunity to take everything you've built in hospitality - leadership, service excellence, team development and operational control - and apply it in a premium, service-led environment where your work-life balance genuinely improves.

What's on Offer
  • £46k-£50k basic salary (DOE)
  • 10% annual bonus
  • Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm
  • Excellent benefits + supportive culture
  • Clear progression in a fast-growing business
  • A modern, service-led environment where standards truly matter
The Role

Think of this as running a high-end hotel - but without the unsociable hours.

As the senior leader onsite, you'll take full ownership of the building, the team and the overall resident experience.

You'll:

  • Lead, coach and develop a high-performing team
  • Drive exceptional service standards across the building
  • Oversee day-to-day operations and performance
  • Manage budgets, reporting and cost control
  • Ensure compliance, H&S and operational standards are consistently met
  • Coordinate maintenance and facilities (similar to hotel operations, on a larger scale)
  • Build strong relationships with residents and stakeholders
  • Create a vibrant, engaging community environment
What We're Looking For
  • Current or recent Hotel Manager / Operations Manager / General Manager
  • Experience running a fast-paced, service-led environment
  • Strong leadership - able to build, motivate and develop teams
  • Commercial awareness with experience managing budgets and performance
  • High standards, attention to detail and pride in presentation
  • Organised, proactive and solutions-driven
  • Looking for a long-term career move with better balance
Why Make the Move?

If you love leading teams, delivering exceptional guest experiences and running a tight operation - but want your evenings and weekends back - this is the perfect next step.
