Assistant Manager - 30 Hours Per Week (weekly pay)

Ojo Rojo & Hacienda are looking for an experienced Assistant Manager to join the team!

________________________________________________________________________

Opening in 2026, Ojo Rojo is an independent Mexican street food inspired, tapas style restaurant in the heart of Bournemouth, spread over two floors.

In 2026, re-opening upon lockdown we opened a new 100 cover outside area, Hacienda. We are a very busy, high volume, fast based environment - serving fresh food with great local produce. We serve approximately 1000 - 2000 covers per week depending on the time of year.

We're really proud of our accomplishments since opening 7 years ago and want to provide a true Mexican experience, with the highest standards possible for service.

In addition, our bar team has won several national awards including placing in the ‘Top 50 Best Cocktail Bars’ in the UK, 'UK's Best Mezcal Cocktail 2026' and 'UK's Best Tequila Cocktail 2026'. Being a small independent company, there is always lots to be involved in outside of the normal day-to-day and a lot of opportunity to have an input directly
