As Activities Manager, you’ll lead a dedicated and enthusiastic team in delivering fun, engaging, and memorable experiences for our guests at Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort. With a strong focus on organisation, safety, and creativity, you’ll oversee a diverse activity program that caters to all ages—whether it’s daily resort fun or tailored events for school holidays, groups, or conferences. It’s the perfect role for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, loves working with people, and brings a hands-on, proactive approach to leadership.

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and manage a variety of safe, engaging activities suited to different guest groups and seasonal needs
• Lead, train, and support the Activities Team, ensuring smooth daily operations and great team morale
• Coordinate scheduling, equipment maintenance, and budget awareness with a strong focus on WHS compliance
• Work closely with other departments to deliver activities aligned with group and event needs
• Ensure all guest information, signage, and promotional materials are accurate and well-presented
• Monitor guest feedback and adapt programs to enhance the overall experience
• Support continuous improvement and maintain a positive, guest-first culture within the team

What we’re looking for:

• Proven leadership experience in a hotel, resort, or similar guest-focused environment
• Experience working with children (in camps, childcare, or educational settings) is a big plus
• A natural people-person with great communication skills and a flair for building positive connections
• Confident, calm under pressure, and great at thinking on your feet
• Flexible and adaptable—you’re ready to jump in wherever needed and thrive in a fast-paced setting
• Blue Card, First Aid, and CPR certifications (or willing to obtain before starting)
• Available to work a rotating roster including weekends, evenings, and school holidays
