What we need in a nutshell

We need a hands on Bar & Retail Manager to support and and grow the capabilities of our customer facing teams at our Mersea Island holiday park. In this demanding and exciting role you will be a key member of our park management team.

What you'll be doing

We need you to be the person who delivers delight by developing, coaching and improving the performance of our Bar, Retail and Leisure Teams at Mersea Island so that they play their part in our commercial success. You will identify commercial opportunities and provide the leadership to maximise them.

Working in a leadership role as part of our team of holiday heroes, you will:

  • Deliver KPIs and annual profit targets in our Bar, Retail and Leisure operations at Mersea Island through smart budget planning, an eye for commercial opportunities and leadership skills that motivate your teams to deliver;
  • Support the delivery of our outstanding guest experience by providing strong leadership and motivation to permanent and seasonal staff;
  • Make decisions on team structures, role definitions, recruitment, training and disciplinary matters;
  • Develop close working relationships with the General Manager, Group Commercial Manager and other areas of the business;
  • Be responsible for health and safety, ensuring the business meets its statutory obligations and that all team members receive relevant training.

Skills, experience and qualities you'll need

We are looking for a high calibre commercial manager, so you will need:

  • To be commercially focused with experience of delivering both short and long term profits – with the customer experience remaining central
  • A proven track record in managing, leading and developing teams
  • Excellent communication skills, written and verbal
  • The ability to work under pressure and solve problems
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to engage colleagues so that new strategies are successfully implemented
  • To be hands-on, self-motivated and ambitious, as well as having a large helping of common sense and a sense of humour.

It's about your values too. We have a can-do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, which is captured by our holiday heroes' mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers - if that's fired up your curiosity, have a read about it here and decide if it describes you.

Nice to have but not essential

It would great if you can tick these boxes too (but we won't hold it against you if you can't):

  • Previous Holiday Park Experience;
  • Previous experience in an operational management position;
  • Knowledge of the latest methodologies, trends and tools in the leisure/hospitality sector.
