Hi, I'm Rino Saladino, owner of Vela Dining & Bar and this is my invitation to you to come and join my team here, as Restaurant Manager. My grandfather is a chef, so I grew up around great food and people with a passion for good produce. My first job was washing dishes at the Festival House in Balmain, Sydney and the restaurant scene is most definitely in my blood!

How about you?

I'm looking for somebody with a genuine passion for hospitality and the skills to lead a team to success. Ideally, with at least 3 years experience, you're also somebody that other people would describe as:

• A quick learner
• Energetic yet highly organised

• Comfortable asserting yourself... with kid gloves on
• A lover of structure, policies and procedures
• Optimistic - but not blindly so
• Decisive
• Absolutely customer-focused
• A natural leader who shows the way
• Naturally balanced between facts and intuition

If that's you, I'd love to hear from you!

• Quality Control;
• Event Coordination;
