Lead a passionate bar team at one of Byron’s most iconic venues.

Set on an 80-acre working farm and macadamia orchard with sweeping views of the hinterland and Byron’s iconic lighthouse, Three Blue Ducks at The Farm Byron Bay is more than just a restaurant - it’s a destination.

We’re a passionate and down-to-earth crew that takes pride in great food, warm hospitality, and creating memorable experiences. While we take what we do seriously, we keep things fun, inclusive, and real – good vibes and good people are at the heart of everything we do.

We’re currently on the lookout for an experienced and energetic Bar Manager to lead our bar team. If you love crafting great drinks, working with quality local suppliers, and creating unforgettable experiences from behind the bar - this one’s for you.

• You’re happy to work a flexible roster that includes nights, weekends, and events

• RSA and strong product knowledge are a must
