What is the job?

We are recruiting for two different casual Food & Beverage opportunities, with immediate starts available:

Bartender & Barista (Ongoing)

We are looking for an experienced and engaging Bartender who can also confidently support our coffee service.

This is a casual but ongoing opportunity suited to someone seeking regular work beyond the summer season. You will bring confidence behind the bar, a genuine connection with guests and the flexibility to support different Food & Beverage areas depending on operational needs.

Previous bartending experience is strongly preferred, together with barista skills or demonstrated experience preparing espresso coffee. Cocktail-making experience, product knowledge and experience working in a busy bar, restaurant or hotel environment will be highly regarded.

F&B Attendant (Seasonal)

We are also looking for adaptable and enthusiastic F&B Attendants to support our team throughout the busy summer and peak event period.

These are seasonal casual positions expected to continue until March 2027, depending on operational requirements.

You may work as an all-rounder across core Restaurant and Bar, The Deck, Banquets, In-Room Dining or Mini Bar. Previous hospitality experience is preferred, but it is not essential if you bring strong customer service skills, reliability and a genuine willingness to learn.
