You'll thrive on ensuring top notch customer service, ensuring our members have everything they need and that enquiries are dealt with effectively.

You love a chat, and you understand what makes a great customer experience, so you'll get to know our members, and ensure they make the most of what Village life has to offer.

On a day to day basis, expect to be meeting, greeting, taking bookings to introduce new people to the club, resolving queries and keeping our members happy.
