Assistant Bar and Events Manager
Hertfordshire Students’ Union are welcoming applications for an Assistant Bar and Events Manager. This role will provide you with a number of opportunities to develop managerial and commercial skills whilst working in a dynamic environment that is always fun and absolutely never dull! We have a really great and fun, down to earth team who set really high standards but always support each other along the way!
As a recently refurbished venue that is always adapting and ready for change, this is an exciting time to join us on our journey. We are an open-minded organisation that believes in being agile in our approach to all situations.
The Forum is a widely respected venue located at the heart of the College Lane campus on the University of Hertfordshire Campus in Hatfield and has recently undergone a multi-million-pound redevelopment project. We want to provide our venue users the best possible experience, with a wide range of events and activities.
This post holder will be integral to the Commercial team, leading our night-time event operation and managing the club on a rota basis. We are also looking for someone who is naturally creative and has a passion for social media and all digital communication channels to lead on our events communications and marketing. You will be joining a high performing team that fully invests in all projects to ensure our success.
Our primary club nights operate between 10.30pm-3am on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday of term, with other events around this, which does mean on these nights you will be finishing around 4am. It is a student focused space and we want to provide them with the best possible experience during their time at university. You will have the opportunity to support student events, but also a large group of student staff for whom you can train, support and develop.
Supported by the Forum Operations Manager, you will also be supported by the wider Herts SU management team and become a member of the wider staff team, which will also come with the wider staff benefits. As an organisation we value personal development and we will look to train and invest in you with both continuous professional development and formal qualifications, relevant to the role.
We have huge ambitions for the venue and are excited by the opportunities the redevelopment gives us. We have a fresh canvas to work from and would like the right person to join us.
We look forward to receiving your application.
If you would like more information, please email Sean Ferrie, Director of Operations, s.ferrie@herts.ac.uk or Jon Constantine - Operations Manager on j.constantine@herts.ac.uk
