**_LIVING WAGE OR BETTER...GUARANTEED_**

**We are looking for a Venue Manager to lead our Badgers and take the saloon to the next level with exceptional experiences, kick-ass events and a dominating beverage program.**

Honey Badger’s just don’t give a f*#% Beehives and poisonous snakes are just another tasty treat for these deceptively bass-ass creatures. Are you fearless? Determined? Creative? Intelligent? Ferocious? Hungry? Then you may be the Badger we are looking for.

The Honey Badger Saloon is designed for good times, loud music, and eclectic tastes. We understand just like the Honey Badger, that will sometimes eat fruit and berries and other times devour Cobra’s or Black Mamba’s, there needs to be choice. Our bar program offers everything from crate bottles to local craft pints, taptails to slushies as well as premium tequilas, mezcals and all your favourite spirits.

We are owned and operated by Kāpura and a huge part of our culture and values is caring for our people and creating great customer experiences through delivering memorable hospitality. Kāpura pays at least Living Wage to all of our employees, and we have a strong focus on giving back to the community, developing our people to achieve their career goals and have a good time while we do it

- You will be energetic and enthusiastic with great communication skills
- You can demonstrate previous success in leading and developing teams
- You understand the numbers and have sound cost control and revenue generating ability
- Minimum of 5 years experience in hospitality with at least 2 years in a senior manager role
- And of course, from the compliance angle you will need your LCQ/GM Certificate

**What we know you’ll love about us**:

- We take the time to look after our people - we understand the value of our teams in creating a vibrant and successful business
- We are focused on creating exciting training programmes that provide a clear career path and offer plenty of progression opportunities

- A range of diverse skills provided by our Support Office to help you and your venue succeed
- For any visa holders out there...this isn’t a barrier for us We will pay the cost of a VOC or AEWV for the successful applicant_
