Bar Manager (Maternity Cover)

The bar serves as the venue for members of college to socialise.  The historic Buttery and Well Bars are conveniently located on the Front Quad and offer a cosy space offering a range of alcoholic and soft drinks

This is an exciting and diverse role covering a period of maternity leave.  The successful candidate requires a professional and courteous manner along with flexibility and excellent customer service skills. You will be self-reliant and resourceful and have the ability to work both independently and as part of a small team. Due to the opening times of the bar and the nature of our events, both during and out of term, you will need to demonstrate flexibility to work various shifts, normally working 5 out of 7 shifts per week, averaging 40 hours per week.

In return, you will benefit from working for a supportive and inclusive organisation (part of a world-leading university) offering good development opportunities to broaden your experience plus excellent benefits which include:

• A free 3-course meal whilst on duty and when the kitchen is open.
• Membership of the Oxford Staff Pension Scheme including life cover of up to three times your salary. The employee’s contribution is 4%, 6% or 8% of pensionable salary. Employers pay 10%, 12% or 14% to the member’s pension pot depending on the tier chosen.
• Excellent annual leave entitlement.
• Access to the College’s employee assistance programme (a 24-hour telephone and online advisory and counselling service).
• Discount in University shops, free entry to other Oxford colleges and libraries, discounted computer software from the University Computing Service, free access to the Botanical Gardens and Harcourt Arboretum and discounted membership of the University’s gym and pool.

The College seeks to foster a collaborative and respectful work environment which promotes equality, diversity and inclusion together with a policy of assisting all our employees to achieve professional growth. We strive to appoint committed and compassionate colleagues to help ensure every student achieves their best.
