House Manager
Full time, 37 hours
Salary: £35,000 per annum
Bristol Beacon’s purpose is to unite people through the joy of live music. As a renowned venue and award-winning music education hub, we achieve this through a remarkable, diverse and inspiring programme of live music performance, participation and learning.
We’re looking for an experienced and people-focused House Manager to co-lead our Front of House operation, delivering exceptional events, outstanding customer service and the highest standards of health and safety.
Working alongside a fellow House Manager, you’ll lead Assistant House Managers and Casual Stewards to deliver over 800 events a year across our artistic programme, commercial hires and learning activities. You’ll be a visible, confident presence during events, ensuring smooth operations, excellent audience and artist experiences, and safe, well-managed spaces.
This role combines hands-on duty management with strong leadership, planning and problem-solving. You’ll oversee FOH rotas, training, crowd management, contractor relationships (including bar, security and medical teams), and maintain robust policies, procedures and reporting. Championing inclusion, access and customer care will be central to everything you do.
If you thrive in a fast-paced live events environment, lead with warmth and clarity, and are passionate about creating welcoming, safe and memorable experiences, we’d love to hear from you.
We reserve the right to close applications a week before the deadline if a suitable number of applications are received.
Diversifying our workforce
We are committed to developing a more diverse workforce through applicants with the skills and experience to help us to widen our perspective and better serve the needs of our communities.
We particularly encourage applications from disabled and ethnically diverse backgrounds as these groups are currently underrepresented within the arts and culture sectors.
