Join Fusion as an Apprentice and make a career out of the things you love doing:  swimming, fitness, community involvement and customer service.  As an Apprentice you can expect a combination of practical experience gained around leisure centres and support in gaining your apprenticeship qualification, giving you a solid foundation as you embark on an exciting career in leisure.

The Role

Fusion Lifestyle is a leading leisure provider and we provide fun, active and safe working environments for our staff.  As an apprentice, you will work towards a nationally recognised NVQ in 'Activity Leadership' whilst also gaining qualifications in National Pool Lifeguarding and Pool Plant Operations.

You may choose to further specialise by qualifying as either a Fitness Class Instructor or Swim Instructor.

Your Career

  • A genuine interest in and passion for the fitness/ leisure industry
  • Strong communication skills and confidence to interact with customers
  • The ability to motivate and inspire others to lead active lifestyles

As an apprentice you will initially be on an enhanced apprenticeship wage of £5ph. As your capability and qualifications increase, your rate of pay will also rise and you can expect to be earning full pay within 6 -8 months when you meet defined milestones.
