There is also plenty of scope for greater responsibility for someone who wants it.
Who we're looking for
We're fairly open-minded about experience.
You may already be an experienced Duty Manager or Assistant Manager looking for a good long-term position.
Alternatively, you might be an experienced bar or hospitality person who has reached the point where you're ready to take on more responsibility. If you've got the right attitude and ability, we're prepared to help you develop into the role.
More than anything, we're looking for someone who is:
reliable and comfortable taking responsibility
good with customers and staff
calm when things get busy
willing to lead by example and get involved




organised and able to make sensible decisions
familiar with the realities of hospitality, including nights and weekends
interested in being part of a business rather than simply filling shifts

RSA, Responsible Person and gaming qualifications

What we can offer
We're flexible about how we structure the position.
For the right person, we're open to either
full-time employment or a high-hours casual role
, with hours, responsibilities and remuneration based on experience.
You'll be working directly with owners who are experienced hands-on publicans. We understand what a busy Saturday night looks like and are there to provide support.
The Willunga Hotel is a 158-year-old heritage pub in one of South Australia's excellent food and wine regions. We have a restaurant, multiple bars, gaming, a large beer garden and a growing functions and events business.
