Working closely with the Restaurant Manager, you’ll play a key role in both front and back of house operations, supporting the smooth running of the restaurant and enhancing the customer experience. When the Restaurant Manager is away, you’ll step up to take full responsibility, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and seamless delivery. Flexibility is key – you may also be asked to support other Hillier restaurant locations, showcasing your collaborative approach.

This is a full‑time, permanent position working 37.5 hours per week averaged over a two‑week rota, with some weekend working, offering a salary of £30,000 per annum depending on experience

Supporting daily operations across kitchen and service areas
Maintaining high standards of food quality, presentation, and hygiene
Ensuring compliance with Hillier brand standards, food safety, and health & safety protocols
Assisting with stock control, ordering, and minimising wastage
Coordinating staff rotas and leading by example on the restaurant floor
Supporting till operations, cash handling, and banking procedures
Contributing to staff training, inductions, and performance reviews
Acting as duty manager, including opening and closing the site securely
Identifying opportunities for operational improvement and cost efficiency
Creating a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for customers and staff

What we’re looking for:

Experience in a supervisory or management role within hospitality
Level 2 Food Safety & Hygiene qualification
Knowledge of HACCP and allergen management
Strong kitchen experience and ability to step in operationally when needed
Proven ability to uphold health & safety and compliance standards

Personal qualities:

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Calm, confident, and solutions-focused under pressure
Highly organised with strong time management skills
Energetic, enthusiastic, and committed to team success
Professional, flexible, and forward-thinking approach
Passion for delivering outstanding customer experiences
Collaborative mindset with the ability to foster a positive team culture

The Offer:

Salary of £30,000 per annum (depending on experience)
Full-time, permanent role – 37.5 hours per week averaged over a two-week rota, with some weekend working
Life assurance at 4 x annual salary
Option to join enhanced group pension plan
Sociable hours
Full training and access to our Online Learning Hub
Employee discount of 20%
50% discount on restaurant menu whilst on shift
31 days annual leave
Free onsite parking
Enhanced Employee Assistance Programme for you and your immediate family, including free counselling on health, financial, legal, and personal/family matters
Company Christmas gifts (eligibility based on start date)
Free solo entry to the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Romsey, plus deals at other gardens nationally

You will be joining a renowned and established family business of over 150 years, working in a fun and friendly environment with an amazing bunch of people. We also place great value on all our team members and how they contribute to the ongoing success and growth of our Company.

Please note that we will only consider candidates who are already located in the UK and have right to work status.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation, or age.
