Macgochans is a long-established, independent bar and restaurant in the heart of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. We’re known for good food, a strong drinks offering and a lively, mixed trade — locals, regulars and visitors throughout the year.

We’re looking for an Assistant Manager to support our General Manager and play an active role in the day-to-day running of the business. This is a hands-on, floor-based role — you’ll be leading shifts, supporting the team and helping keep service running smoothly during busy periods.

The role includes:

• Supporting the General Manager with daily operations

• Running shifts and leading front-of-house service

• Being present and involved on the floor

• Supporting staff training, rotas and team standards

• Helping maintain consistent service and customer experience

• Confidently handling customer queries when needed

About you:

• Previous experience in a supervisory or management role in hospitality

• Comfortable in a busy, service-led environment

• Practical, organised and calm under pressure

• Happy to lead by example and get stuck in

• Friendly, professional and reliable

Location & lifestyle:

We’re island-based and slightly remote, so this role would suit someone looking for a change of pace from city life — a “new year, new you” move for the right person. Tobermory is a vibrant town with a strong community, great scenery and an active hospitality scene.

Shared staff accommodation is available, and there are also private rental options throughout the town.

What we offer:

• Permanent, year-round position

• Competitive pay based on experience

• A well-established business with a strong reputation

• A supportive management and ownership team

• A varied role with real responsibility

• We also regularly recruit for other roles within the business, including Duty Manager and Front of House positions, on both a seasonal and permanent basis. If you’re interested in island hospitality life but this role isn’t quite the right fit, we’d still love to hear from you.
