Assistant General Manager
At KOL, part of the MJMK group, we source and celebrate the finest expressions of British ingredients, championing wild food and seasonality to create dishes that reflect the bright, fresh flavours of Mexican cooking. The kitchen team is headed up by Chef Patron Santiago Lastra and won a Michelin star earlier this year. Respect and understanding are central to our work. Before ingredients and dishes, we invest in the people and producers who trust us to represent their culture and traditions and our team also reflects this. As KOL continues its success, we’re looking for an Assistant General Manager to join the team.
As an Assistant General Manager at KOL, we can offer you:
- 25% staff discount across all MJMK sites
- Opportunity to develop your career with MJMK as we expand in the near future
- Mental health and well-being assistance with Hospitality Action who can offer free advice and counselling if you’re struggling at work or at home
- Free team meals and drinks while on shift
- Enhanced maternity and paternity pay, after your first year with us
- An extra day’s holiday every year you’re with us
- An enhanced pension plan and the opportunity to take a sabbatical for a month, with two weeks paid by MJMK, after you’ve worked with us for 5 years
A KOL Assistant General Manager is:
- A hands-on, natural leader who can support the General Manager to nurture and grow a large team
- An enthusiastic and proactive individual, who is happy taking responsibility for all areas of the restaurant
- Passionate and knowledgeable about food, wine and hospitality
- Able to work with integrity, excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills
We’d love to hear from you if you’re an experienced Assistant General Manager and you’re up for a new challenge and the opportunity to work alongside Santiago Lastra.
