Job description

Leisure Assistant (Lifeguard)

Walking into a spotless changing room sets the exact right tone for a great workout. You know that a premium leisure club relies entirely on the brilliant, high energy people who keep it immaculate, safe, and welcoming every single day.

The Role Outline: Your Shift at a Glance

We are looking for a Female Leisure Assistant to join our club team. Because taking absolute ownership of our busy male and female changing rooms is a massive part of this job, we are recruiting for gender specific roles.

This is a wonderfully varied and highly active role. While you will absolutely spend time poolside as our trained Pool Emergency Responder during supervised hours, you will also be constantly on the move around the rest of the club. You will be the driving force taking total ownership of the hygiene standards across the gym floor, the changing rooms, and the public areas, making sure the entire club looks absolutely brilliant.

Why Village?

At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating lively spaces for our guests to work, eat, relax, and play.

We need proactive people who take real pride in their work, love a gleaming gym floor, and enjoy chatting to members while they get the job done. If you have a positive attitude and a sharp eye for detail, we will give you all the support and training you need. Because it really does take a Village.

Your Remit: What You Will Actually Be Doing

We do not just need someone to push a mop around; we need a proactive team player. We trust you to handle:

• The Deep Clean: Taking absolute pride in your designated changing room, ensuring the showers, lockers, and floors are squeaky clean, safe, and fully stocked with supplies.

• The Pool Supervision: Acting as a trained Pool Emergency Responder during scheduled pool hours. We follow strict RLSS guidance (we provide all the training), keeping our members safe and responding instantly to poolside alarms or emergencies.

• The Gym Floor & Public Areas: Getting out onto the floor to sanitise equipment, safely handle cleaning materials in line with COSHH regulations, manage lost property, and keep the public areas looking pristine.

• The Member Connection: Bringing your personality to work. You will be the friendly face of the club, offering advice on facilities, answering questions, and keeping the vibe incredibly welcoming.

How We Succeed Together

We do not micromanage. It takes a village, so we believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to manage your routines and take pride in your own areas. We Empower & Elevate our people. If you want Room to Grow, we offer brilliant training and a highly supportive environment where your hard work is incredibly visible to the whole management team.

Selling Our Benefits

• Health & Wellbeing: 2 x complimentary full leisure club memberships (perfect for a workout before or after your shift), a monthly well being programme, and an Employee Assistance Programme.

• Hotel Stays: Discounted stays from £20 based on two sharing across our 34 properties.

• Food & Drink: 50% discount on Food and Drink purchased on or off shift at any Village Hotel, plus 75% off Sunday dinner for up to 6 people.

• Friends & Family: 2 friends or family members get 25% off F&B, even when you are not there.

• Financial & Extras: Financial wellbeing support via Wagestream, High Street discounts, an Electric car salary sacrifice scheme, and your birthday off guaranteed.

Ready to Join the Team?

If you love a role that keeps you on your feet, take massive pride in a job well done, and want to learn fantastic new skills as a Pool Emergency Responder, we want to hear from you.

Bring your personality, your positive energy, and your drive.
