You will support and coach the team to deliver a great experience and drive key targets. This is an operational, guest-facing role; therefore, non-guest-facing tasks will be allocated within your working hours to allow you to spend most of your time at the venue with guests.

• Boost Employee NPS to promote a positive work environment.
• Increase visitor numbers and guest satisfaction scores.
• Manage team during shifts, ensuring key tasks and objectives are met.
• Drive add-on sales and support your team in doing the same.
• Ensure stock and propositions are available and a high-quality guest experience is delivered in line with brand and venue guidelines.
• Capture guest feedback and monitor NPS, taking action to improve.
• Provide accurate rotas three weeks in advance via SAM and ensure system accuracy.
• Coach and develop your team to meet departmental goals, championing Butlin’s Values and Behaviours.
• Ensure rotas align with the Right People, Right Place, Right Time (RPRRT) principle.
• Build and maintain strong relationships across the resort and with support teams.
• Manage employee lifecycle tasks, including onboarding, performance management, training, and HR processes.

About You

• You should possess a current National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) and have experience working in a busy pool environment.
• You should have ambitions to develop leadership skills through additional training and courses.
• Excellent guest and customer service skills, capable of handling inquiries and resolving complaints.
• Experience in creating opportunities through sales and promotions.
• Ability to collaborate with a diverse team to meet business needs based on guest demand.
• Track record of leading teams, managing performance, coaching, training, and upholding high standards.
• Exceptional communication skills and ability to adapt to evolving requirements.
