Our friends at the Pack House in Te Puke are hiring. Check out their post for more information. Reach out to them if you are interested, or share to a friend that might be!
They are a great crew to work with! 🍻

We’re on the lookout for a Front of House legend to join The Packhouse crew.

This is a full-time, hands-on role for someone who enjoys people, thrives in a busy work environment, and takes pride in what they do.

What you’ll be doing:
You’ll be the face of the pub - welcoming customers, taking orders, pouring beers, making drinks, running food, clearing tables and keeping the place clean and running smoothly.
We cross-train our staff when they’re ready, so you’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills, work across different areas of the business, and keep things interesting.

What we’re looking for:
• Someone reliable, switched-on and great with customers
• A positive attitude and strong work ethic (all required skills will be taught)
• Comfortable working busy services and weekends
• Keen to be part of a close-knit team long term

The non-negotiables:
• 40 hours per week, Wednesday to Sunday (we are closed Monday and Tuesday)
• Aged 20+ (so you can work towards an LCQ or Duty Manager’s Certificate if you don’t already have one)
• Be passionate about craft beer (or be willing to try everything and learn everything that you can about it)

Hospitality experience is valued, but not essential - full training will be provided. We care more about personality, attitude and work ethic than what's on your CV.

This role isn’t suited to someone looking for short-term work or a filler job. We have low staff turnover and are looking for someone who wants to settle in long term and grow with the business.

Why work with us:
• A solid, consistent full-time role
• Same shifts every week
• Support to gain LCQ / Duty Manager certification
• A busy, well-run pub with good systems and a strong local following
• A team that supports each other and enjoys their work
• Great perks across our pub and brewery

How to apply:
Email your CV to [email protected] or (preferred) pop in and drop it off in person at The Packhouse during our open hours.
