Job description

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn't exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

Join Liverpool John Moores University's Physical Wellbeing Team and play a pivotal role in delivering an outstanding student, staff and community experience within our Sport Building.

This is far more than a traditional operations role. Alongside leading the safe and effective day-to-day running of our facilities, you will take ownership of strategic projects and a specialist development area such as staff development, strategic planning, participation, healthy lifestyles, sport development, events or community engagement. As part of a supportive team committed to developing talent, you will have opportunities to lead initiatives, analyse impact, contribute to departmental strategy, and build the skills and experience needed for future career progression.

A HNC or HND in a relevant subject, equivalent qualification, or proven track record of broad substantial relevant experience demonstrating general knowledge of technical or professional practice is essential. You will also need experience of working in physical activity, wellbeing, sport, exercise, fitness, health or associated environment as well as knowledge of issues and systems relating to health and safety in sport and/or associated sectors.

If you are passionate about people, wellbeing, customer experience and creating positive change, this is an exciting opportunity to develop your career while helping shape the future of physical wellbeing at LJMU.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.

LJMU values diversity and provides a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can fulfil their potential.

Please note all of our vacancies will be closed to applications at midnight on the advertised closing date, unless otherwise stated.
