Assistant Manager 

About Beds & Bars

Beds & Bars is the team behind a network of backpacker hostels, bars, and pubs across Europe. You will find us in nine cities across seven countries, welcoming travellers, locals, and everyone in between. We focus on four simple things: keeping people safe, making sure they feel secure, giving them great value, and making their experience fun.

People are genuinely at the heart of everything we do. Our motto, “Live Your Life,” isn’t just something we put on posters, it’s how we work. We want our guests to feel relaxed and at home, and we want our team to feel supported, included, and able to grow. Whether someone stays one night or works with us for years, we aim to make the experience a memorable one.

What’s the job?

You’ll be working alongside the General Manager to make sure everything ticks along nicely, from the hostel rooms to the pub floor. It’s a mix of leadership, problem-solving, and getting stuck in when needed. No two days are the same, and that is what makes it fun.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Supporting the General Manager and making sure daily operations run like clockwork.
• Leading the team; helping with rotas, training, and keeping morale high.
• Looking after guests; answering questions, sorting problems, and making them feel welcome.
• Keeping an eye on budgets, stock, and making sure we’re on track.
• Helping plan events and keeping the atmosphere lively.

What we’re looking for

• Minimum requirement: solid supervisory experience – you know how to lead a team and keep things organised.
• Someone who’s confident as a keyholder and can handle opening and closing duties without breaking a sweat.
• Calm under pressure and happy to juggle a few things at once.
• Great at solving problems and keeping guests smiling.
• Experience in hospitality 

Why join us?

Because this isn’t your average job, you will be part of a team that works hard but knows how to have a laugh. You will meet people from all over the world, learn loads, and never have a dull day. If you like a lively atmosphere and don’t mind rolling your sleeves up, you’ll fit right in.

The perks

• 50% off food and drinks across all Beds & Bars venues
• Discounts on stays at St Christopher’s Inns and partner hostels worldwide
• Career progression through our award-winning Footsteps Program
• Free wellbeing support.
• Rewards and recognition for a job well done, including cash bonuses and trips away.

We are an equal opportunity employer and proud of it. We welcome applications from everyone, regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other protected status.

You will need the legal right to work in the country for this role.
