Events Duty Manager in Sheffield

At Rock & Star, our vision is simple - let us look after you. It's the promise we make to every couple, client and guest who walks through our doors, and as an Event Duty Manager, you'll be the one who keeps it all together.

We own and operate three independent venues in Neepsend and Kelham Island in Sheffield: Victoria, a restored 1884 chapel; The Mowbray; and The Chimney House. We host weddings, private parties, private dining, meetings, and our own House Events, with incredible food made in-house by our kitchen team and delicious drinks from our bar.

We're growing our Junior Management team and looking for experienced, hands-on Event Duty Managers to lead events across all three venues.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Run the event. You'll take charge from the pre-shift briefing to the final lock-up. You'll brief the floor, kitchen, and bar teams on the events timings, numbers, dietaries, and pre-orders, then manage the key moments: room turns, food service, speeches, entertainment, and the last dance.
• Look after our clients. You'll be the main point of contact on the day, so couples and clients deal with one friendly, confident person. You'll also lead venue viewings and handle drop-offs and collections with care.
• Lead the team. You'll support and motivate the front-of-house and bar teams, drive great table and bar service, and make sure everyone gets their breaks. When it gets busy, you'll be right there behind the bar with them.
• Keep our venues beautiful. You'll make sure every space is clean, styled, and event-ready, from fresh flowers and candles to the courtyard and bin store.
• Keep everyone safe. You'll hold the keys, open and close the venues, and make sure Health & Safety, fire, food safety, and licensing procedures are followed. You'll complete the End of Day report and checklists accurately every shift.
• Help us get better. You'll capture photos and videos for our marketing team, share ideas at Junior Management meetings, and deputise for the Events Management team when needed.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• At least 2 years in hospitality, in restaurants, bars or events, at supervisor, team leader or assistant manager level.
• Strong bar and cocktail knowledge, and confidence working behind the bar.
• Good practical knowledge of food and drink, including allergens.
• A calm, organised approach and the confidence to make decisions on your feet.
• Warmth and professionalism with guests, clients, and suppliers.
• A real eye for detail and pride in high standards.
• Reliability, punctuality, and a smart appearance.
• Availability for a mix of daytime and evening shifts, including weekday evenings and weekends.

HOW WE LOOK AFTER OUR GUESTS

• Respect. Every guest, supplier, and team member is treated with courtesy.
• Ownership. If something needs doing, you make sure it's done.
• Care. You look after our venues and our people.
• Kindness. You lead with warmth, especially under pressure.

• Accountability and Ambition. You own the outcome and aim to make the next event even better.
• Reliability. Clients, guests, and the team can count on you.

HOW WE LOOK AFTER YOU

• £14 per hour, with paid annual leave and a workplace pension.
• Fixed-term role through our busiest season until January 2027 - with a view to extension based on performance.
• Shifts planned in advance around our events diary.
• Three unique venues and a varied mix of events, from intimate dinners to large celebrations.
• A friendly, creative, and ambitious team that values your ideas.
• Guaranteed annual leave between Christmas and New Year when we close.
