You will support with general facility operations, event set up and delivery, as well as providing safe supervision of customers and lifeguard cover of our 25-meter indoor swimming pool. In return, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, a generous holiday allowance and pension scheme and access to leisure and childcare facilities across our campuses.
