About FJORD

FJORD is an independent food brand founded by chef Kieran Ruger, bringing together creative sandwich drops and fine dining experiences.

What started as an ambitious idea is quickly becoming something much bigger. Our social media following continues to grow, our content is reaching new audiences and we're building a brand with serious ambitions for the future.

We're still a small team, and we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey.

The role

We're looking for an Assistant Restaurant Manager to help organise and run the day to day operation of FJORD. You'll work closely with the management team, take ownership of key responsibilities and help us maintain the standards our guests expect.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing bookings, reservations and table plans.
• Responding to customer enquiries and messages.
• Organising the restaurant ahead of service and keeping everything running smoothly.
• Managing and organising the kitchen porter team.
• Supporting front of house operations and guest experience.
• Helping with general administration and restaurant organisation.
• Maintaining high standards across the restaurant.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone organised, proactive and keen to develop their career in hospitality.

You'll need:

• Previous hospitality experience and bar experience.
• Strong organisational and communication skills.
• A professional, friendly approach to customers.
• The ability to take responsibility and work well within a small team.
• A willingness to learn, take feedback and develop as a manager.

Wine knowledge is preferable, but we're happy to train the right person.

You don't need to know everything already. We want someone with the right attitude, who takes pride in their work and wants to grow alongside the business.

What we offer

• £26,000 to £30,000 annual salary, depending on experience.
• Company pension.
• Free food during shifts.
• A great working environment with a small, ambitious team.
• Hands on experience and training to develop your management skills.
