About You
You're an energetic and experienced bar professional who thrives in a lively, student-centred environment. You love creating spaces where every student feels welcome, respected, and able to relax or celebrate with friends. Whether you're leading a busy shift, training new team members, managing stock, or helping to deliver a big campus event, you keep things running smoothly while keeping the atmosphere friendly and inclusive.
You're a confident leader who inspires your team, brings fresh ideas for drinks menus and themed nights, and knows how to make each visit to The Union memorable. You care about doing things the right way, championing safety, inclusivity, and sustainability, while supporting the Students' Union's mission to help every Edge Hill student get the most from their university experience. Above all, you're passionate about making The Union the heart of student life on campus.
About the Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to take the lead in shaping the hospitality offer within Edge Hill Students' Union's brand-new three-floor venue, The Union. As Bar Manager, you'll oversee the operation of our two licensed bars, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor and deliver exciting rooftop pop-up bars for special events.
You'll be leading a friendly, and ambitious team on one of the UK's most beautiful university campuses, creating memorable experiences for a diverse student community, university staff, local residents, and external guests. It's a welcoming and inclusive space where a diverse student community can connect, feel safe, and be themselves.
This opportunity offers more than typical bar management responsibilities, positioning you as a key member of a supportive and collaborative team that delivers a wide range of activities from student nights and live music to live sports and cultural event screening, conferences, private functions, and major student celebrations. Your leadership in bar operations will be essential to the venue's success and to creating a welcoming, well-run environment that enhances the venue's reputation on campus and beyond.
