Duty Manager - The Rowing Pavilion

Join our lively riverside venue - The Rowing Pavilion - with a team that works hard, backs each other and knows how to enjoy a shift.

We’re looking for a hands-on Duty Manager who loves the energy of busy service, leads from the floor and wants to bring the best out of the crew around them.

You might already be running shifts, or you might be a strong supervisor ready to step up. What matters most is that you’re dependable, good working with people and keen to keep learning.

What You'll Be Doing: 

• Leading busy shifts and keeping the team clear, supported and moving.

• Setting the tone on the floor and jumping in wherever needed.

• Coaching team members and giving useful feedback in the moment.

• Making decisions and handling guest issues calmly and confidently.

• Keeping standards high across service, presentation and operations.

• Making sure each shift leaves the venue ready for the next one.

What We’re Looking For: 

• Previous experience in leadership or supervisory role in hospitality.

• Great communication and problem-solving skills.

• Someone who is eager to learn, grow and ambitious about building a name for themselves.

• Someone who thrives in the thick of a busy service, leads from the front, and brings the team together to deliver at a high level.

What We Offer: 

• Real responsibility and trust. Not a role where you simply hold the keys and follow a checklist.

• Hands-on coaching, support and honest feedback from experienced venue leaders.

• The opportunity to learn the full operation of a busy venue, including service, labour, stock, team performance and day-to-day decision-making.

• The freedom to bring forward ideas, take ownership of projects and make a visible impact.

• Progression based on performance, attitude and ownership. Not simply time served.

• A driven and supportive team that works hard, backs one another and takes pride in delivering at a high level.

• Recognition for people who consistently perform, take initiative and help move the venue forward.

If you’re passionate about hospitality, have experience leading teams, and want to be part of something special, we’d love to hear from you! 

To apply, send through your resume and a brief cover letter letting us know a little bit about yourself, how your experience is relevant to this role and why you’d be a great fit for the role.
