The Catering & Events Manager manages event enquiries, proposals, contracting, planning and delivery for meetings, weddings, conferences and social functions at The Tasman. The role requires hospitality or events experience, strong knowledge of catering operations, excellent communication and negotiation skills, commercial awareness, and confidence using event or hotel-management systems. The successful candidate is expected to build client relationships, convert business, coordinate effectively with kitchen, banquets and front office teams, maintain high service standards, manage budgets and details accurately, and remain calm during busy periods. Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and public holidays is essential. A professional, organised and guest-focused approach is expected, along with the ability to work independently during this 12-month maternity-cover appointment.

Tasmania offers opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, events, healthcare, trades, agriculture, technology and education, with Hobart and Launceston being the main employment centres. The culture is relaxed, friendly and strongly connected to local produce, art, history and the outdoors. Lifestyle highlights include coastal walks, mountains, national parks, wineries and a lower-density pace than Australia’s mainland capitals, although housing and flights can be costly. Hobart has a lively food and cultural scene, but employment options are fewer than in Sydney or Melbourne. Visa requirements depend on nationality and occupation. Temporary work, employer-sponsored and skilled migration pathways may be available, while working-holiday visas suit eligible younger applicants. Candidates should confirm requirements with Australia’s Department of Home Affairs. Relocating typically involves arranging a visa, tax file number, Australian bank account, healthcare cover and accommodation before arrival.
