• Confident leading a team and running service
• Flexible to work evenings and weekends
• Sport interest is a bonus
• Hours: approx. 35-42hours per week (5 days)

Venue Manager Position:
We’re also looking for an experienced Venue Manager to lead FOH operations within one of our venues — driving service standards, team performance, training, rostering, stock, and results.

Key requirements:

• Proven Venue Manager / senior leadership experience
• Strong team leadership and systems mindset
• Confidence with rostering, wage targets, stock control, and compliance
• Current Duty Manager License (LCQ + Managers Certificate)
