General Manager for The Bull in Wanstead

The Bull in Wanstead is about to get even more exciting.
The Bull is a much-loved neighbourhood pub in Wanstead, but we’re not standing still.
We’re making significant investment in the site and growing what The Bull can be – with exciting plans across weddings, events, private hire and rooms, alongside the pub itself.
So, we’re looking for an experienced GM with the ambition and energy to match ours. Someone who wants to take a great business, evolve it, lead a brilliant team and shape what comes next.
Why The Bull?
It’s a pretty special site. A listed former bank, right on Wanstead High Street and just 100 yards from the Tube, with a huge garden, private events room and loads of character.
It’s already a big part of the local community. Now we’re investing in it and creating more reasons for people to come, celebrate and stay.
That means this is much more than simply running a busy pub. We’re looking for someone excited by growth, opportunity and building something.
Who are you?
You’re an experienced hospitality GM who:
Loves running a great pub and taking real ownership
Knows how to lead people and get the best from a team
Is commercially switched on and confident owning a P&L
Gets excited by sales, events and new opportunities
Can lead a team through investment, change and growth
Is naturally connected to guests, the community and the people around them
Has plenty of energy, ideas and a bit of entrepreneurial spirit
In return, you’ll have a genuinely exciting business to get stuck into and the opportunity to make your mark on The Bull’s next chapter.
The Bull is part of Livelyhood, an independent London Hospitality operator with five Lively Ways at the heart of what we do: Authentic, Daring, People, Lively and Sustainable.

Workplace, Culture & Diversity
Corporate culture is essential to allow the organization to differentiate itself. In terms of image on the one hand, it has strengths both internally and externally to consumers. It is indeed a source of cohesion and motivation of employees and it limits conflicts. With customers, it conveys a positive image and can develop a feeling of closeness to the company or even become a criterion of choice.
