Ready for your next serious career move ? Ever heard of the beautiful British Island called Guernsey ?
Guernsey sits in the sparkling waters of the English Channel, closer to France than to England but proudly British in character.
One of the British Sunshine Isles, it enjoys more sunshine hours than anywhere on the UK mainland, alongside stunning coastlines and a relaxed pace of life. As part of the Common Travel Area, you can move freely between Guernsey, the UK, and Ireland without a passport.
We're seeking an F&B Manager whose experience has been forged in quality four and five-star establishments where food and beverage isn't a support function, it's the heartbeat of the operation. You understand that great F&B is built by great teams, and great teams are built by leaders who genuinely invest in their people.
This hotel group built its legacy on highly personalised, memorable experiences, both for guests and for the people who look after them. That ethos shapes everything. The right candidate won't need this explained; they'll recognise it immediately and live it out in how they lead.
The Opportunity
You'll take ownership of the full F&B operation: a brasserie showcasing local seafood and seasonal produce, an authentic Indian restaurant, afternoon tea service, and banqueting for private events and cocktail bar and club area. The infrastructure is in place. What we need is someone who can build a team culture that makes this operation sing.
That starts with your people. You'll recruit for attitude and potential. You'll coach, develop, and create genuine career pathways. You'll build an environment where your team feels valued, supported, and proud of what they do — because you know that's exactly what guests feel when they walk through the door.
From that foundation, everything else follows: rethinking menus to hero Guernsey's exceptional produce, building a drinks programme with real identity, creating experiences that draw locals as well as hotel guests. You'll have the freedom to shape the offering and the support to make ambitious ideas happen. But your first priority will always be the people who deliver it.
What We're Looking For
-
Proven experience in F&B management within quality 4 or 5-star, food-led hotels
-
A genuine track record of building, developing, and retaining strong teams
-
Someone who sees team culture as the foundation of operational success, not a nice-to-have
-
The ability to create an environment where people want to come to work, learn, and grow
-
A leader who coaches rather than directs, and celebrates their team's success as their own
-
Strong financial acumen: you understand margins, labour costs, and how to protect profitability without compromising quality or burning out your people
-
Creativity when it comes to concept development, menu engineering, and guest experience
-
Someone who sees service as an opportunity to create genuine moments, not just transactions
-
An instinct for anticipating what guests want before they ask
-
High standards and attention to detail, delivered through a team that shares your pride in the product
What We Offer:
-
A competitive salary and monthly service charge.
-
Relocation support to help with the move to the island
-
Holiday allowance starting at 20 days, increasing with length of service.
-
Access to award-winning learning and development opportunities.
-
Free meals on duty and discounts across multiple venues.
-
A vibrant and supportive team culture with social events.
-
Enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
-
Access to an Employee Assistance Programme for well-being support.
