WHO ARE WE?

Part business, part charity, part membership body – no two days in our workplace are the same.

Professionally run, but different. Alongside our hospitality business, we support our students in every aspect of their university experience from assisting in their academic development, supporting them in campaigning for change, and facilitating a huge range of sports clubs and mutual interest societies. We deliver a fun, exciting, and vibrant campus experience for everyone.

WHAT’S THE JOB?

 As part of the Venues Management team, you will report to and work closely with the Head of Commercial Operations to operate and oversee a programme of planned activity that meets the needs of our diverse membership, drives footfall, and operates profitably.

Our part-time bar staff are exclusively students and require year-round training and leadership. Your role will be to guide this team to deliver excellence.

WHO YOU ARE

The successful candidate will need to be a confident self-starter with the energy and enthusiasm to deliver to a diverse membership in a fast paced youth orientated environment. Attention to detail and a proven track record of delivering excellence within a high paced, dynamic hospitality management operation is essential. Experience of working within a brand led organisation would be beneficial.

You will have a passion for the customer and will be required to deliver consistently high-quality service while motivating your team both up and down the ladder.
