Job Title: Assistant Manager

Location: Soho

Fish are like us—we all swim together.

Strange Fish are bold, curious individuals who fit right in here. The gentle rebels: calm, curious, thoughtful. People who don’t need to shout to be heard. People who make things feel easy. You know who you are. You will have walked a similar path before, but your spirit is ready for an Assistant Manager role where you can bring your energy and vision (with a spark of dare) to our Sticks’n’Sushi restaurant in Soho!

## Are you:

  • · Sincere about providing genuine, heartfelt, true hospitality?
  • · Interested in learning about Danish 'n' Japanese terminology, culture and heritage?
  • · Confident and able to excel in a fast-paced setting?
  • · Adaptable, calm under pressure and able to maintain standards whilst controlling costs?
  • · A builder of caring relationships based on trust, respect and generosity?
  • · A good listener who supports others with a big smile and a small ego?

## What you’ll be doing at Sticks’n’Sushi:

  • · Leading our shifts to ensure our elevated hospitality
  • · Motivating, coaching and inspiring your team to always deliver the best fresh food, premium drinks and excellent service
  • · Building for the future by growing a strong community of guests, welcoming everyone equally.
  • · Making good decisions, solving challenges and keeping the positive energy flowing

## What you’ll bring to us:

  • · A track record of excellence from previous roles, ideally as an Assistant Manager, Deputy Manager or Restaurant Manager in a high volume, premium full table service restaurant
  • · The adaptability of water to stay flexible and quickly respond to challenges & changes
  • · A real understanding of ‘hands on’ togetherness and a natural ability to support your fellow Fish (the wonderful teram)
  • · A flair for delivering personal touches and memorable experiences for our Guests, helping to take them away from the real world for a while

## How we will support your journey with us:

We don’t want people to stand still. We help you grow. We will support you in mastering your craft and new skills. 90% of our General Managers were promoted from within and we have a genuine commitment to internal progression and development. We also have opportunities in our Back Office Teams and acxross the UYk and Europe, with exciting new openings coming soon.

## The benefits that go beyond the day to day:

Yes, we work hard. But we also laugh, learn and enjoy the ride. We want everyone to be part of building something meaningful and to feel involved in making us a little bit better every day. A place where everyone belongs and is represented. You’ll enjoy:

  • · Delicious fresh team food every shift
  • · 50% discount across all our restaurants, everywhere (including drinks)
  • · Generous referral bonus schemes
  • · Employee assistance and wellbeing support through Hospitality Action
  • · Financial wellbeing support with early access to your salary via Wagestream
  • · Employee discounts across high street retailers and restaurants
  • · Team events, unforgettable parties & awards

## Ready to jump in?

Then click apply. We can’t wait to hear about the Unique (and hopefully a little Strange) Fish that you are. We welcome everyone and believe in true belonging. If your spark matches ours, we’ll invite you for a chat so we can meet you properly - and if it feels right, we’ll dive in together.

That’s us.
