What we’ll need from you

Good communication and organisational skills are essential for this role.  You’ll need a sport/recreation/fitness or management qualification. A first aid qualification and some relevant experience would also be very desirable.

This is a great opportunity for students (who may still be studying) and other individuals to gain management experience.

What we can offer you

£10.55 per hour (plus holiday relief pay allowance on top of hourly rate).
We’ll offer you casual shifts which might involve working some daytime or evenings, both during the week and at weekends (depending on the centre).  Any shifts offered would be by mutual agreement, so you can always fit work in around your other commitments. Please note that our centres located in Hampton, Whitton and Teddington only open to the public on weekday evenings and at weekends.  

You will become a member of the Local Government contributory pension scheme.

Closing Date:  Sunday 11 August 2019. We will contact you by email to let you know if you have been shortlisted or not.
