Castle Hill Tavern is the original ‘local’ pub in the Hills District, with years of providing customers with efficient and friendly customer service. The Tav caters to all our guests' needs with our wide range of facilities such as our Family Bistro, TAB, pool table, beer garden and our two dedicated function rooms ideal for both corporate and private events. Our weekly entertainment includes trivia, members' draws, karaoke and live entertainment with soloists playing in our beer garden.

Salary: From$100,000 + super + bonus

A day in the life of a Publican:

• You know the locals by name, they reckon you’re one of their own, all while keeping a sharp eye on the P&L.
• You run the place like it’s your own modern-day home, keeping things safe, smooth, and compliant.
• You're the pillar of the local community and the driving force behind a high-performing team.
• You put out fires before anyone even notices there was smoke.
• You bring the vibe, the service, and the smiles – every shift, every day.

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 already know if this is for you. You’ve got the experience, the presence, and the pride it takes to own a pub like it’s been yours forever. You're not just running a venue - you're living the Publican life.
