Assistant Manager - Beachfront Hotel

Endeavour Group is seeking an on-site Assistant Manager to take the floor at the Beachfront Hotel in Rapid Creek, NT. This full-time position sits inside a beachfront venue that’s part of the ALH Hotels family and known in the area as The Beachy. It’s a busy site with a mix of outdoor deck crowds at sunset, a lively bistro service, and a strong gaming and bar operation. If you’re hands-on and enjoy leading a large team to deliver warm, consistent hospitality, this could be your next step.

In this role you’ll be at the center of the action, guiding service on the floor and supporting the Publican to keep the pub running smoothly, safely and with a great vibe. It’s a chance to grow your leadership skills from the floor up, while building rapport with a mix of locals and visitors who pass through every shift.

If you’re excited by the idea of being the face of the pub when the boss isn’t on site, and you want to shape a lively, welcoming atmosphere across bar, dining and gaming spaces, this is the spot for you.

A day on the beachfront floor

On a typical shift you’ll check in with the crew, ensuring service standards are clear, the seating plan is workable, and the floor is primed for a busy period. You’ll keep the energy up, move quickly when needed, and help your team stay coordinated as orders flow across the deck, bistro, and gaming areas.

You’ll work alongside the Publican to ensure operations run safely and smoothly while maintaining a positive mood and strong guest experience. You’ll lead a team of hospitality staff and step in to resolve issues before they become bigger problems, keeping the focus on delivering friendly, efficient service throughout the shift.

Throughout the shift your aim is to bring energy, consistent service, and genuine smiles to every guest, ensuring locals feel at home and visitors leave with a memorable impression of the Beachfront Hotel.

What you’ll bring to the role

• This is a hands-on job that involves physical tasks such as lifting and moving stock, kegs and deliveries, so you’ll need to handle those duties safely and efficiently
• You’ve spent time in bar, bistro or gaming room environments and have some supervisory experience
• You’ve learned from good managers and are ready to take on more responsibility
• You communicate with confidence, take pride in your work, and can be the face of the pub when the boss isn’t there
• You hold RSA/RSG certification and a NT Gaming Machine Managers Licence in line with state requirements

Nice-to-haves

• Experience leading a hospitality team through busy periods, with a track record of keeping standards high and guests satisfied
• Familiarity with multi-area operations such as bar, dining and gaming, and the ability to coordinate across them
• A natural ability to build rapport with locals and regulars so new staff can slot in quickly and guests feel welcomed

Tips to help you shine in this Beachfront role

Lead your resume with the most relevant floor-based leadership you’ve had in busy hospitality settings, bar, bistro or gaming floors count, especially where you supervised others.

Call out that you hold RSA/RSG and the NT Gaming Machine Licence, and include any details you can about expiry dates or issuing authorities if you have them. This shows you meet the must-haves right away.

Be ready with a concrete example of a time you turned around a hiccup on a shift, how you spotted the issue, who you involved, and what the outcome was. The team wants to know you can act quickly and calmly under pressure.

Prepare a sharp question for the interview, such as how success is measured for an on-floor leader when the Publican isn’t on site, and how the team coordinates across bar, bistro and gaming during peak periods.
