Assistant Manager – Bath (New Opening)
Full-time | £30000-£32000 Salary + tips | ~40 hours per week
Pizzarova started with a Land Rover and a mobile pizza oven back in 2013. Since then, we’ve opened four shops in Bristol and built a reputation for doing things properly — good sourdough pizza, consistent quality, a team-first working culture, and clear values.
This Autumn, we’re bringing our approach to Bath. We’re looking for an Assistant Manager to help lead our first Bath site — someone confident, practical and people-focused, who’s keen to get involved in both service and leadership from day one.
Why work with us
- Everyone is cross-trained and works across the whole shop — no separation between kitchen and FOH.
- Our culture is calm, supportive and hands-on — no stress theatre or egos.
- We’re small enough to care, structured enough to grow — with a clear path to GM.
- We prioritise quality, pace and simplicity over complexity or showiness.
- Sustainability is central — we minimise waste, use local suppliers, and partner with organisations like Chefs in Schools.
You won’t just be slotting into a system — you’ll be part of building something new for London.
The role
You’ll support the General Manager in running the site, lead shifts, and help train and develop the team. You’ll set the tone on service, maintain high standards in food and hygiene, and contribute to day-to-day decisions across the business.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead and run shifts across service, prep, and kitchen
- Train, coach and support team members on shift
- Handle stock checks, ordering and rota support
- Uphold food safety, hygiene and customer service standards
- Support with team culture, site organisation and setup
- Step into GM responsibilities when needed
Training & opening timeline
We’re aiming to open in Late August. You’ll spend time in Bristol ahead of launch (travel covered) to train in our current shops — learning the full flow of service, how we lead teams, and what high performance looks like at Pizzarova.
You’ll also help get the Bath shop open — from setting up the space and testing the layout to unpacking equipment and getting stuck in with final fit-out.
What we’re looking for
- Experience running or supervising shifts in a fast-paced food setting
- Confident leading a team and holding standards on service
- Comfortable with ordering, prep lists, cleaning systems and service flow
- Calm, clear communicator who works well under pressure
- Positive presence on shift — reliable, motivated and supportive
- Someone who wants to grow into a future GM role
What you’ll get
- £30000-£32000 Salary, paid weekly
- Tips shared fairly across the team
- Paid travel and accommodation for Bristol training
- 40-hour working week with flexible scheduling
- 50% discount for friends and family
- Free staff food every shift
- Birthday off (with a small thank you)
- Supplier visits and ongoing learning opportunities
- RovaFest – annual staff party, all shops closed
- Cycle to work scheme and pension
- Option for sabbatical after 5 years (unpaid after 1)
