General Manager, Visitor Attraction.

Kestrel HR is delighted to be working with Graysons to find a General Manager to lead their flagship visitor attraction in the heart of the Sussex countryside, Wakehurst Botanical Gardens.
The 500 acre gardens are part of the world-famous Kew Gardens Group, and are hugely popular with tourists and families alike, looking to enjoy the American Prairies, the Australasian or South American woodlands, or the thousands of flora and fauna on display.
Part of the guest experience is the hospitality on offer, and we are looking for a talented manager to lead the team.
There are three main outlets, being the kitchen, serving fresh local ingredients and a selection of changing daily specials, the pantry with a more grab and go feel of sandwiches and pastries, and the cafe, which is perfect for a quick snack or a long lunch.
People come to see the gardens, but the hospitality on offer really makes the experience complete.
We are looking for a hospitality General Manager, with a strong commercial background. Sales and profitability are important with tight margins & a fluctuating footfall, and the ability to lead a team to deliver exceptional service is essential.
If you have experience of, or a strong interest in, the world of gardens and outdoor attractions, more the better.
In return, we are offering a strong salary of between £40 and £45k, with a range of excellent company benefits, including life cover, pension, Company sick pay, health and wellbeing support and a range of discounts and offers for you and your family.
Equally importantly though is the support of an excellent team, and the opportunity to grow with the company in this highly visible leadership role.
Sounds great? It is.
Send your CV and a brief overview as to why you're perfect for this role, and we'll get back in touch straight away.
Thanks for reading, and good luck!
