About Us
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that a great host is at the heart of every great stay. And it might be stating the obvious, but at home or in a hotel, we think the trick to being a great host is understanding what your guests want and when they want it. Knowing when to add those little touches and small thoughtful gestures that make every stay special and when to take a step back.
At voco, everyone’s a host.
Voco, Melbourne Central opened its’ doors in April. A beautifully appointed new venue of 252 rooms in the heart of the city, the hotel boasts dramatic archways, gold accents and a warm and contemporary finish. When our guests take a moment to appreciate its beauty, they may gaze out from our rooftop balcony, with an enviable view of many of Melbourne’s iconic landmarks or be hosted in our Blacksmith Brassiere and Bar for the perfect cocktail or early morning espresso. All of this with a solid commitment to sustainability as well.
Wouldn't you want to be a part of bringing this vision to life..
Your day to day
Blacksmith Bar oozes sophistication and intimacy - a snug hideaway that is as glamourous to sit and sip in as it is a pleasure to work in.
We are looking for a full time mixologist/barman who can “own” this space. Part entertainer, always cocktail enthusiast with a sound knowledge of wines , you will demonstrate creativity and confidence, and be passionate about giving your guests bespoke, individual service with clever and unexpected touches.
You will always go above and beyond expectation, making memorable experiences.
We are looking for a passionate professional with at least 3 years’ similar experience. As far as cocktails go, all the “old favourites” will come naturally to you, but you will be just at ease with contemporary recipes and perfectly capable of making something original and new, on the fly.
You will have an outgoing personality comfortable with working a service by yourself, keeping your bar immaculately presented.
Our bar also reserves the restaurant – so prioritising your workload and keeping calm under pressure whilst keeping a smile on your face will be a well-honed skill.
What we need from you
voco service style is relaxed but knowledgeable, guest focused, with an emphasis on sharing
You will need at least some, if not all of the following:
- Oodles of enthusiasm and a passion for hospitality
- Flexibility around working weekends and public holidays
- Solid cocktail knowledge and a good grasp of local wines
- Ability to attend to your guests with local knowledge and light banter
- At least two years experience in a similar venue
- A current RSA
What we offer
Join our extraordinary world and experience a place where you can be yourself, share your ideas, support your personal growth and wellbeing, and be a valued member of an inspirational team.
You’ll be rewarded for your hard work with a suite of benefits that supports you and your family’s wellbeing, including paid birthday leave, enhanced parental leave, flexible work options and proactive health days. Your career journey will be supported through our lifelong development program, IHG career milestone celebrations, and transfer of entitlements as you move and grow with IHG.
