Venue Supervisor

Bay Venues …. Haven’t heard of us? Not to worry; I bet you have heard of some of the venues we own or operate – the Clubfit gyms, Baywave, or Mercury Baypark to name a few. As the kaitiaki of over 25+ facilities in Tauranga Moana, we proudly offer a range of activities and experiences intended to put a smile on the dial of our community.

Here at Bay Venues, we are all about ensuring we create memorable moments - and we do so intentionally through connection and fun with each other and our community. Our values of Manaakitanga (Service), Whakawhanaungatanga (Relationships), Kaitiakitanga (Caring) and He Toi Tangata (Excellence) are lived on the daily as we strive to enhance the wellbeing of the people we serve. It’s no small feat, but we know that when we facilitate connections and collaborate with others, great things will happen!

Hours of work will be 27.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with shifts ranging between 8.30am and 3.00pm.

About You:

You'll be someone who genuinely enjoys working with people and creating positive experiences. You're proactive, organised and able to build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

To be successful, you'll have:

• Experience in a venue, facility, community, hospitality or customer-facing environment.
• Exceptional customer service and communication skills.
• Strong administration and organisational abilities.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and business systems.
• The ability to work independently and take initiative.
• Experience building positive relationships with customers, community groups and stakeholders.

We have put together a bunch of perks to support our culture of connection and fun.  Ones that reinforce that we are part of the awesome leisure and events industry, and all the magic that comes along with that. Our benefits include:
