About the Role

Are you a hospitality professional with a passion for the great outdoors? Park Cliffe Camping & Caravan Park  is looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Bar Manager to take the helm at our stunning site in the heart of the Lake District.

In this role, you aren’t just managing a bar; you are creating a high-quality, welcoming environment for our guests as they enjoy their leisure time. You will lead a small team of Bar Assistants, ensuring the facility operates safely, profitably, and to an exceptional standard of service.

Key Responsibilities

• Team Leadership: Recruit, coach, and manage the performance of Bar Assistants, including scheduling rotas and administering weekly payroll.
• Operational Excellence: Take full ownership of cellar management (line cleaning, keg rotation, gas safety) and maintain a premium environment for guests.
• Financial Performance: Manage stock levels, conduct regular stocktakes, and work within budgets to achieve profit targets.
• Commercial Strategy: Identify opportunities for upselling and refresh our drinks menu to reflect current trends and local tastes.
• Safety & Compliance: Ensure all operations strictly adhere to the Licensing Act (Challenge 25), COSHH, and Food Hygiene regulations.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 2–3 years in a bar supervisory or management role within a hospitality environment. Experience in a seasonal holiday park environment is highly desirable.
• Technical Skill: Strong knowledge of cellar management and draught systems is essential.
• Licensing: You must be a Personal Licence Holder (or be willing to obtain your APLH).
• Leadership: A proven ability to motivate a small team and resolve conflicts effectively.
• Flexibility: As this is a seasonal environment, you must be able to work a flexible rota, including peak holiday periods, evenings, and bank holidays.
• Logistics: This is not a live-in position. Candidates should ideally live within 20–30 minutes of the site and have reliable transportation.

Why Join Us?

At Park Cliffe, we know our greatest strength is our people. We celebrate differences and strive to create an environment where every colleague feels respected and valued for their unique potential. We are passionate about the outdoors and providing an unrivalled experience for our guests.
