Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia The Hill Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year

Do you want a management role in hospitality without the late nights? Join us at The Hill Café, an independent, family-owned venue in Port Macquarie, where you'll lead a supportive team, enjoy a balanced beachside lifestyle, and help shape the experience of our much-loved local café.

What's on offer:
  • Competitive salary (above award – let's talk)
  • 38 hours a week, with great work-life balance — shifts finish by mid-afternoon
  • 4 weeks annual leave + 10 days sick leave
  • Free staff meal when working 6+ hours + 25% staff discount all other times
  • Ability to self-manage your roster and schedule
  • Work closely with the owners in a creative, supportive environment
  • Be part of an independent, community-focused venue with a loyal following
Your role:
  • Oversee and motivate a front-of-house team of up to 9 (approx. 6 on per shift)
  • Manage rostering, ordering, and stock control
  • Deliver excellent customer service and uphold our café's friendly atmosphere
  • Make great coffee (experience with ONA a plus — training provided)
  • Work collaboratively with the owners to keep things running smoothly
About you:
  • You've had leadership experience in hospitality or a customer service role (fast food, café, or restaurant — all valued)
  • Basic barista skills and willingness to learn more
  • Organised, positive, and a team player who leads by example
  • Ready to step up into management or bring your experience to a café where you can enjoy autonomy and balance
Why join us?

At The Hill Café, we value teamwork, creativity, and balance. We're independent venues (32 staff across our businesses The Hill Cafe & Noona's Pizzeria), and our managers work closely with us as owners — no corporate layers, just direct support and collaboration. This is the ideal role for someone seeking their first management step or a lifestyle-friendly hospitality leadership position in Port Macquarie.
