Job description

Two brands. One team. ROVA Health is what happens when two established names in health and wellbeing stop running in parallel and start moving together. Built on over a century of Westfield Health Group heritage and driven by the belief that the way people live, work, and recover has fundamentally changed — we exist to do something about it. This is a platform with purpose, built by people who care about getting it right. If you're joining us, you're not just starting a new job. You're helping navigate what comes next.

POOL OPERATIONS LEAD

Navigate the unknown as a ROVA Experience Specialist

You’ll lead the pool, a premium aquatic wellbeing space inside a high-profile global company’s Central London campus. That means end-to-end ownership of technical coaching, physical conditioning and restorative sessions such as Floating Meditation, Sound Healing and pop-up Flow Yoga, delivered by a multidisciplinary team you manage directly.

It’s a hospitality-led role as much as an operational one. You’ll set the standard for safety, cleanliness and service, build the calendar of experiences, and make sure every employee who steps into the water feels seen, heard and valued, while staying closely connected to teams across our wider London Campus and EMEA locations.

THE ROLE

Location: Central London

Language Requirements: Fluent English

Salary: Up to £40,000 per annum dependent on experience

• Health Cash plan
• Private Health Insurance
• Pension Scheme
• Retail discounts scheme

• Electric Car Scheme
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Annual Pay Review

• Targeted Learning and Development opportunities

Contract Type: Permanent, Full Time (40 hours per week)

What You Bring

• Swim England Level 1 Coaching qualification (Level 2 preferred), plus a valid NPLQ with current CPR, AED and first aid training.
• Swim England Safeguarding Certificate; or willing to complete one within three months.
• Aqua Aerobics experience, ideally with a CIMSPA-accredited qualification.
• Demonstrable experience delivering services within a high-end corporate, retail or luxury environment.
• Experience managing or developing teams in a wellness or fitness setting.
• Confident swimming and coaching across all four strokes, with a genuine coaching mindset.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with exceptional customer service and the instinct to read a room.
• An Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one), G-Suite competence, and the flexibility to work the hours the role needs.

Qualifications get you to the room. These are what keep you here.
