As Bar Manager you’ll work alongside your General Manager and the management team to make sure the day-to-day operation of the bar runs brilliantly every day.

- Working closely with the wider restaurant team to give every guest the best experience possible
Since 2010, we’ve been serving well-travelled food, specialty coffee and drinks inspired by flavours and ideas from around the world.
We’re a business built around curious people. People who care about what they do, look out for each other and aren’t afraid to try something new. With more openings ahead and a big focus on developing our own people, there’s plenty of room to grow with us too.
Plus, when you work at Caravan you enjoy:
- Free meals & drinks when on shift
- 50% dining discount with up to 4 mates
- 20% coffee retail discount
- Extensive wellbeing support
- Financial health education & support
- Leadership training and development
- A dining voucher when you start, on your birthday and your work anniversary, to spend in any of our restaurants
- Real career progression - 80% of our management roles are filled internally
We live by four core values, and our Bar Manager and every team member would live, promote and role model them:
- All welcome - We make space for everyone at our table
- No boundaries - Grow, develop and thrive, just a little bit each day
- Caravan of Love - Bring the energy, and be part of the change you want to see in the world
- Well-travelled - Be curious; learn, taste, experiment and share that knowledge with those you meet along the way
We're all in on both environmental and social sustainability practices. Every team member plays their part in maintaining our B-Corp certification targets.
Everyone's welcome at Caravan. We respect individual differences in identity, culture and experience, with our team, and with every guest.
