We are looking for an exceptional General Manager who knows how to deliver results and make things happen. You will set standards, drive performance, solve problems and ensuring the attraction consistently delivers against visitor, revenue and operational targets.

You will be responsible for ensuring Kents Cavern achieves its commercial objectives while maintaining the highest standards of visitor experience, presentation, health and safety and operational delivery.

Driving infrastructure and visitor experience enhancements.
Ensuring projects are delivered on time and to the required standard.

Team Performance

Review visitor feedback and take action.
Track performance against targets.
Drive visitor growth initiatives.
Ensure maintenance issues are resolved promptly.
Manage budgets and staffing costs carefully.

Remove obstacles that prevent progress.
Deliver business plans and agreed priorities.
Work closely with central support teams to maximise results.

The Type of Person We're Looking For

This role would suit someone who:

Gets things done.
Takes ownership.
Notices the details.
Holds high standards.
Is commercially aware.
Makes decisions.
Doesn't wait for problems to solve themselves.
Can manage multiple priorities.
Is comfortable holding people accountable.

Key Skills & Experience

Essential

Senior operational experience.
Experience managing visitor attractions, hospitality, tourism or customer-facing businesses.
Proven track record of delivering budgets.
Strong project delivery experience.
Experience managing teams and performance.
Excellent organisational skills.

Schools, groups and coaches growing.
Projects delivered on time.
High visitor satisfaction scores.

The Opportunity

Kents Cavern has significant potential.

The successful candidate will play a key role in growing visitor numbers beyond 200,000 annually, enhancing the visitor experience and strengthening Kents Cavern's position as one of the UK's leading heritage attractions.

We're looking for someone who combines commercial awareness with operational discipline, someone who can take ownership, maintain momentum and ensure that great ideas become reality.

If you are someone who thrives on delivery, accountability and high standards, we'd love to hear from you.
