  • Take ownership of financial performance-budgeting, reporting, and managing payroll to meet commercial targets.
  • Recruit, train, and develop staff to create a motivated, high-performing team.
  • Build strong community links to boost club visibility and participation.
  • Ensure full compliance with health & safety standards, including pool plant operations.
  • Monitor member feedback and continuously implement improvements to elevate the overall experience.

What We’re Looking For

  • A confident leader who can inspire teams and foster a positive workplace culture.
  • Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
  • Financial acumen and experience managing budgets and reporting.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Flexibility to work shifts, including weekends.
  • Lifeguard or fitness qualifications are beneficial (but not essential).

What’s in It for You

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • A supportive, collaborative working environment.
  • The opportunity to lead a successful team and shape the future of a thriving club.
  • Career development, training, and progression opportunities.
