Job description

Duty Manager - Come lead with us at The Albion Hotel

In 1882 our beloved Albion was constructed on the corner of George and Harris st. In 1924 the original site was demolished and replaced with a new hotel, The Albion was once fondly known as \"Albie's'\" down by Gasworks bridge to the locals and has always been a favourite watering hole for the Parramatta community.

In 1986 the Solomon family acquired the Albion and have built it into what is it today. With a couple of minor facelifts along the way, Albies is now a sun-drenched beer garden by day and a booming nightclub by night. If only walls could talk, we know that this old girl would have many stories to tell.

The Albion plays host to a variety of patrons from clubbers enjoying R & B tunes after dark, families coming to enjoy activities and pub classics in the sun on the weekend, to sports enthusiasts celebrating their favourite teams on the big screens. The venue is jam packed with variety and is a must visit to those far and wide.

The Role

As Assistant Manager, you’ll be a motivational people leader, who loves creating a stellar service to locals and patrons. Hospo is your passion, from managing busy functions & events to coordinating a busy bistro and pouring the best craft brews for your favourite locals at the bar. You are passionate about good food and love creating the perfect atmosphere, guaranteeing patrons experience the best, every time.

Your role will involve all of the venue essentials including the day to day running of the shift, opening and closing the venue, back of house administration and banking, training and developing the team, hiring staff, rostering and assisting patrons. Motivating, inspiring and training your large team will be at the forefront and ensuring the patron experience is paramount.

Experience working as an Assistant Manager in some of Sydney’s most reputable high volume pubs or functions & events coordination experience in a busy pub will be essential in hitting the ground running. The culture here is one of a kind, with a close knit crew and a team that work together. With parking onsite and public transport at the door step, getting here is a breeze.
