We make health happen

Here at Bupa, we’re here for people when they need us most. At Richmond Villages, we create friendly, welcoming communities where residents can enjoy their independence, feel part of village life and experience great hospitality every day.

Are you a passionate and driven hospitality leader looking for your next challenge?

At Richmond Village Wood Norton, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional dining experiences within a warm, community-focused environment — and we’re now looking for a Restaurant Manager to lead our front of house team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a thriving hospitality operation, where quality, service, and resident experience are at the heart of everything we do.

If you’re ready to lead a team, make an impact, and be part of something special — we’d love to hear from you!

You’ll help us make health happen by:

• Managing and optimising staff rotas, always ensuring effective cover while working within agreed budgets

• Leading, recruiting, and developing a high-performing front of house team, maintaining Richmond Villages’ high standards

• Overseeing all daily restaurant operations, delivering an exceptional experience across dining, bar, and room service

• Planning and delivering events and functions, maximising the use of village spaces to drive engagement and revenue

Always leading by example, you know the importance of creating and delivering an excellent hospitality experience.
