Nestled away in the Southern Highlands, 90 minutes from Sydney, you'll find the quaint town of Moss Vale population approx. 12,000. Bowral is the embodiment of Southern Highlands charm with stunning gardens, wineries, art galleries, award winning eateries and boutique shopping.

Named after Sir Harry Veitch, an acclaimed nurseryman & horticulturalist, Harry's is filled with plant life and exotic travel memorabilia.

Next door you'll find their sister venue, Plantation Café, The Orangery which is a unique and Instagram-worthy gift, perfume and homeware store and The Potting Shed, for all your indoor plant and garden fancies.

•Supervising and working alongside the front of house team ensuring service levels are consistent and sales opportunities are maximised
•Overseeing the setup of the venues
•Stock management including ordering and stock taking

The successful candidate will be an operationally strong leader with a hands-on management style and a warm and welcoming personality. You'll be passionate about not just customer service but also the Harry's brand and embracing a cohesive team culture.

•You must be either a NZ Citizen or an Australian Perm Resident Citizen - no sponsorship is available
•Your working week will generally be from Wednesday to Sunday, with evening shifts on both Friday and Saturday
•Couples are welcome to apply, particularly if you're a hospitality/retail duo!
•Bowral is a small town with limited nightlife, so the role is best suited for someone who enjoys a laidback lifestyle in the country.
•This isn't an office-based role, while some admin is expected the majority of your time will be spent on the floor.
