About the role

This is a Casual position so the role will suit a student or someone looking to supplement income, as hours - whilst regular - are not guaranteed.

History suggests an average of 10-15 hours per week are typical but it could vary up to 30 hours, business needs dependant - early morning starts (circa 6am), late afternoon/early evenings (circa 8pm finishes), and weekend work are on offer.

Attitude is paramount. Engage with our customers. Get personal satisfaction from finding ways to delight them and make sure they return. Serve them promptly and provide an excellent first and last impression.

Autonomy. Your focus will be on traditional Front Office/Reception duties but you will become an accomplished barista and bar tender in time. The role involves processing accommodation reservations, checking people in/out, handling telephone enquiries, cash handling and balancing, coffee making, pouring a beer etc.

In short we offer a role with plenty of variety.

If you smile naturally and see yourself as central to a customers positive experience - and therefore central to the business profitability - then this is the job for you.

We are looking for initiators, not instruction takers. Contributors, not passengers.
