As an Area Manager at Ember you’ll lead a district of 16 businesses in our Scotland & North West District, where no two days are the same. Through your passion, experience and leadership, you’ll inspire your teams to grow and develop, serve up great guest experiences and smash targets each and every day. But most importantly- you'll know how to have fun and celebrate success as a team when all the hard work pays off.

This district takes in the very best of the North West and Scotland with fantastic pubs in Cottam, Preston, Liverpool & the Wirral, Widnes, Southport, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dalkeith.

Join us at Ember Inns, we’re a home away from home. Think real ales, traditional pub food and roaring open fires and glorious pub gardens: we’re the local to be proud of.
