Lead the shift. Support the team. Deliver great service. We're looking for a hands-on Site Duty Manager who enjoys hospitality, leads by example and takes pride in running a welcoming, well-organised venue.
This is an active, shift-based role. You'll work alongside the team on the bar and floor, keep service running smoothly and make sure the venue is clean, safe and ready for customers. From opening checks to the final handover, you'll take responsibility for getting the essentials right, with direction and support from our Operations Support Centre.
What you'll do Lead confident, organised shifts Brief the team on bookings, events and service priorities. Allocate tasks, sections and breaks, support colleagues during busy periods and check that work is completed properly. Handle customer queries and complaints professionally, asking for support when needed.
Get opening and closing right Complete opening and closing checks accurately and at the time they are carried out. Check presentation, toilets, stock, equipment and access routes before service. At closing, make sure cleaning, restocking, cashing up and records are complete, and the venue is secured correctly.
Look after deliveries and stock Check deliveries against orders and paperwork before signing, including quantities, condition, dates and temperatures where applicable. Record and report discrepancies, deal with unsuitable goods in line with company procedures, and ensure stock is stored promptly and rotated correctly. Keep accurate records of wastage, breakages and transfers.
Maintain a venue people enjoy visiting Take ownership of cleanliness and presentation throughout the shift, including customer areas, toilets, the bar, cellar and back-of-house spaces. Allocate cleaning duties, inspect finished work and report maintenance or hygiene concerns promptly.
Keep cash and records accurate Complete daily Weekly Business Summary (WBS) entries using the current shared Teams file. Cash up and reconcile takings as authorised, retain supporting reports and receipts, and report unresolved differences. Meet reporting deadlines and clearly hand over any information or tasks still outstanding.
Support safe service and team development Follow company procedures for responsible alcohol service, age verification, food hygiene, allergens, health and safety, and security. Record incidents and concerns through the correct process. Give colleagues practical guidance and only undertake specialist tasks when trained and authorised.

A practical approach and willingness to work alongside the team.
Clear communication and confidence organising busy service.
Good numeracy and attention to detail when handling cash, checking deliveries and completing records.
