It’s an exciting time for Park Leisure. We’ve recently bought our 12th park and there are great plans for the future.

Here at Park Leisure, we’re proud of our values: Teamwork, Honesty, Excellence, Pride and Communication, and always incorporate them into everything we do. We’re, therefore, looking for people who also demonstrate these…so if you think this is you, then read on!

The role

A fantastic opportunity for two enthusiastic individuals to join our fabulous leisure team at Brynteg, undertaking a variety of daily tasks, ensuring our customers are enjoying the facilities provided.

The first role will, for the most part, be supporting the team with the maintenance of hot tubs, which will include cleaning and checking the water levels. You’ll need to have a driving licence for this, as you’ll be driving our company pool vehicle.

Both roles will also include helping to schedule leisure activities and promote existing facilities to customers. With the support of the manager, you’ll organise and run leisure activities for the enjoyment of the holiday home owners on park, delivering activities to the highest of standards.

Safety is of vital importance around the pool; you’ll supervise the pool area, being focused and vigilant at all times, ensuring customers are enjoying the facilities in a safe manner and reacting to any possible situations speedily and calmly (only applicable to those who hold a valid National Pool Lifeguard qualification). You’ll also be responsible for undertaking vigorous cleaning duties, ensuring exceptional hygiene and cleanliness levels are maintained at all times.

On occasion you may also support on the leisure reception desk, making bookings and answering customer queries in a professional and courteous manner. You’ll maintain exceptional customer service standards, exceeding customer expectations and ensuring a great experience is provided.

You’ll take an active interest in the development of your own knowledge and be willing to undertake training relevant to the role when necessary.

About you

You’re polite, welcoming, approachable and professional. You’re a confident and clear communicator, enthusiastic, passionate about providing exceptional customer service, enjoy conversing with customers of all age groups and teaching others new skills. You are focused, vigilant, responsible and mature, patient, conscientious, reliable and punctual, cope well under pressure and are a great team player. You’re able to work using own initiative, are adaptable and able to make decisions.

Experience

Ideally, you’ll have previously worked in a similar environment, in which a number of leisure facilities and activities are offered to customers. Ideally, you will have a current pool Lifeguard qualification, in order to supervise swimmers in the pool area.

Previous experience of running both indoor and outdoor leisure activities would be advantageous, however we are also looking for people who have a passion for sports/leisure pursuits and who could bring their enthusiasm to the leisure complex. You’ll also be educated to GCSE level (or equivalent).

A driving licence is required for the one of the positions, therefore, please advise us of this in your covering letter. You’ll also need to be aged 21 or above to use the pool vehicle.

An enhanced DBS check will be required in order to undertake this role.

Pay

National Minimum Wage/Living Wage.

Contract

Zero hours. The majority of hours available will be on weekends and school holidays, however, hours could be based any days of the week as and when required.
