Vacancies

Bradfield College enjoys a well-established reputation for being one of the country’s leading co-educational, independent schools. Our impressive Sports Complex and Indoor Tennis Centre operate as busy dual-use facilities, catering for both the College and external users.

We are seeking a highly motivated Duty Manager to lead our team of Leisure Assistants & Lifeguards, to achieve consistently high standards of customer service and safety in the Sports Complex and Tennis Centre. Our Duty Managers are expected to be more than just ‘shift leaders’, as they also support the Operations Manager in developing and implementing procedures for Quality and Health and Safety, plus the training and monitoring of staff. In addition, each Duty Manager takes on the responsibility for specific areas of management and administration.

Candidates will be able to demonstrate drive, determination and a positive commitment to delivering high standards at all times.  They will exhibit initiative, maturity, professionalism and an ability to remain calm under pressure to deal with emergency situations or resolve conflicts in a constructive manner. Candidates will need to prove their management and communication skills, plus their detailed understanding of the day-to-day operations of a sports and leisure facility (dryside and wetside).

The post holder is expected to have some experience of: shift management, customer service, health and safety, lifeguarding, line management and training. Qualifications in leisure management/operations (e.g. Pool Plant Operators) plus health and safety (e.g. NPLQ and First Aid at Work) would be expected but can be obtained in the probationary period.

You will form part of the duty shift rota, which covers the entirety of the opening hours of the complex, including early mornings, late evenings, and weekends.

Applications will be processed as they are received, and we may interview suitable candidates before the closing date. Bradfield College reserves the right to make an appointment at any time so early applications are encouraged.
