For more than 120 years, the Parkerville Hotel (affectionately known as The Parky ) has been at the heart of the Perth Hills community. Established in 1902, this heritage-listed venue has long been a gathering place for locals, families, visitors and generations of Hills residents. With its rich history, family-friendly atmosphere, expansive beer garden and reputation as a true community hub, The Parky is much more than a pub – it's a local institution.
Now, an exciting new chapter is about to begin.

You will play a pivotal role in guiding the venue through its upcoming refurbishment, working closely with operational leaders and stakeholders to ensure a seamless transition while maintaining strong business performance and team engagement.
You'll be equally comfortable leading a busy Sunday service, building relationships with regulars, coaching your leadership team, analysing financial performance, and helping bring a refreshed vision for The Parky to life.
