Job description

The Macquarie Inn is a true regional heavyweight. With a sprawling footprint that includes a massive bistro, multiple bars, a high-performing gaming room, and significant accommodation, it is the heartbeat of Dubbo. We are looking for a powerhouse Assistant Manager who can handle the scale of a venue that truly does it all.

This role is for someone who thrives on complexity. You’ll be switching gears between a busy lunch service, checking in motel guests, and managing a high-energy sports bar. If you’re looking for a role that offers more variety than your standard suburban pub, and a clear path to becoming a regional Publican, this is your move.

A day in the life of an Assistant Manager:

• Get to know the locals so well they think you’re part of the crew
• Support the Publican to keep the pub running smoothly, safely, and with a great vibe
• Learn the ropes of being a Publican while leading a team of absolute hospo legends
• Handle hiccups before they turn into headaches
• Bring the energy, the service, and the smiles every single shift

Inherent requirements:

This is a hands‑on role that involves manual handling and lifting as part of regular duties (e.g. moving stock, kegs, and deliveries). Applicants must have the ability to perform physical tasks safely and efficiently.

About you:

• You’ve been around the bar, bistro, or gaming room block, and maybe already done some supervising
• You’ve learned from great managers and now you’re ready to step up
• You’ve got the confidence, pride, and people skills to be the face of the pub when the boss is away
• You’ve got a current RSA and RSG/RCG as per state requirements

If you’re keen to learn, lead, and laugh while making this pub the best spot in town – we’d love to hear from you.

The benefits are good too!
