Job Description
Catering Jobs is partnering with a leading, high-volume catering and hospitality provider in the OL7 area to recruit a dynamic and results-driven General Manager. This is a pivotal leadership role offering an immediate start for a professional ready to take full operational control of a busy establishment. The client operates within a fast-paced environment, potentially spanning contract catering, large-scale event hospitality, or a premium hotel food and beverage outlet. Your mission will be to drive commercial success, elevate guest experience, and lead a diverse team to deliver exceptional service standards every day. This position is perfect for a manager who thrives under pressure, excels in financial management, and possesses a genuine passion for the hospitality industry.
By applying through Catering Jobs, you gain direct access to this exclusive opportunity and the support of a specialist agency in OL7 dedicated to the catering sector. We understand the local market's unique demands, from staffing seasonal events to filling permanent leadership vacancies. Our role is to bridge the gap between talented professionals like you and esteemed employers seeking immediate start solutions. We vet all our opportunities thoroughly, ensuring they offer competitive remuneration, clear career pathways, and a professional working environment. Whether you're looking for a temporary challenge or a temp-to-perm career move, registering with us opens the door to a wide network of roles, much like the opportunities we list for Catering & Hospitality Jobs at Wembley Stadium or the specialised searches for Chef Jobs in Sheffield.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide comprehensive operational leadership and day-to-day management of the catering unit, ensuring seamless service delivery, strict adherence to health & safety regulations, and impeccable hygiene standards.
- Full P&L accountability: develop and manage budgets, control costs (including labour, food, and overheads), analyse financial reports, and implement strategies to maximise profitability and achieve financial targets.
- Recruit, train, mentor, and motivate a large team of front and back-of-house staff, fostering a positive, high-performance culture focused on excellence, teamwork, and outstanding customer service.
- Drive commercial growth by developing and executing marketing initiatives, building strong client relationships, exploring new revenue streams, and ensuring the business remains competitive within the OL7 region.
- Oversee all stock control, supplier negotiations, and menu development in collaboration with head chefs, ensuring quality, consistency, and innovation that meets client and guest expectations.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a General Manager or senior operational manager within a high-turnover catering, contract catering, hotel, or event hospitality environment. A track record of delivering financial results is essential.
- Exceptional leadership and people management skills, with the ability to inspire, develop, and hold teams accountable. Experience in managing diverse teams, similar to the demands seen in Warehouse Supervisor roles where logistics and team coordination are key.
- Strong commercial acumen with expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and cost control. Proficiency in relevant hospitality management software and MS Office is required.
- An unwavering commitment to health and safety, food safety (Level 3 Food Hygiene certified is a strong advantage), and delivering a premium guest experience. Must be flexible to work shifts, including weekends, as required by the business.

- For temp-to-perm roles, a clear path to permanent employment with associated benefits such as pension contributions, private healthcare, and generous holiday allowance.
- The intrinsic benefit of working with a reputable agency that provides continuous support, from securing the role to navigating the initial placement, much like the service we offer those seeking Recruitment Outsourcing in Leeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'immediate start' mean for this General Manager role?
'Immediate start' means the client is ready to onboard the successful candidate as soon as possible, often within 1-2 weeks. This could involve a fast-track interview process and quick compliance checks. It indicates an urgent business need, similar to the tempo of roles we advertise for Urgent Short Term Catering Jobs in PL15.
Is this a temporary or permanent General Manager position?
This specific vacancy is advertised as a temporary placement. However, many of our temporary roles, especially at a senior management level, have strong potential to become permanent (temp-to-perm) based on performance and business needs. We will clarify the long-term prospects during your initial consultation.
What support does Catering Jobs offer during the assignment?
You will be assigned a dedicated consultant who will be your point of contact for any queries regarding pay, hours, or the role itself. We handle all administrative liaison with the client, ensure you are paid correctly and on time, and provide ongoing support throughout your assignment, mirroring the service we offer for all our placements, from Doula in PE6 roles to warehouse staff.
Do I need specific catering qualifications for this OL7 role?
While a degree in Hospitality Management is beneficial, proven hands-on experience as a General Manager is paramount. A Level 3 Food Safety certificate is highly desirable and often required. Essential skills are leadership, financial acumen, and operational excellence. We assess all aspects of your profile, much like we would for a specialist Caterer position.
How does the pay work for a temporary General Manager?
You will be paid by Catering Jobs on a weekly basis, for all hours worked and approved by the client. We ensure payment is prompt and accurate. The pay rate is agreed upon before you start the assignment and is competitive within the OL7 market for your level of experience and the role's responsibilities.
Can I apply if I live outside the OL7 area?
Yes, you can apply. However, you must be able to reliably commute to the OL7 location for the required shifts, which may include early starts and late finishes. The client is seeking someone who can be present and lead from the front, so proximity or a solid commuting plan is a significant advantage.
