Opening August 2026 | Be part of the journey from day one

We’re bringing something big, bold, and brilliantly fun to Otley… and we’re looking for an exceptional leader to take the reins. 🦗

Grass Hoppers is all about creating unforgettable experiences for families — and as our Manager, you’ll be at the heart of making that happen.

  • Love working with people and creating great experiences
  • Can plan ahead, stay organised, and adapt to changing demands
  • Bring a positive, hands-on leadership style

Experience in customer service is essential, and experience with children or catering is a bonus

📅 What to Expect:

  • Start date: Ideally 22nd June 2026
  • Be part of a brand-new opening in Otley
  • Play a key role in shaping the team and culture
  • Work in a dynamic, high-energy environment where no two days are the same
