GLL is looking for a General Manager based at Gurnell Leisure Centre in Ealing, West London.

Building on our continued growth, we're now the UK's largest leisure provider - and set for even greater success. So, if you have experience of managing busy wet and dry leisure centres, join us as a General Manager and play a key role in the next step of our journey. Bringing ambition to match ours, this is your chance to lead a large facility and develop a talented team at the heart of a leisure sector leader.

Our aim is to make an active and healthy lifestyle accessible to all. As General Manager, you'll have a big part to play in that, as you focus on shaping a clear strategic framework to deliver our operational and financial targets - all whilst forging even stronger links with our business and community partners. It's a role that offers huge variety. So, as well as enjoying a hands-on management role, some of your time will be desk-based, as you ensure compliance and support the administration involved in running a busy leisure centre.

Naturally, we have safety procedures in place - but ultimately, you're given the freedom, support and training to run your centre as your own and drive innovation as you see fit. As General Manager, you'll thrive on the autonomy to manage your own time too, all with the support of a wider head office function including HR, finance, marketing and IT teams.

Continuing your strong track record of achieving big business objectives, product growth and excellent customer service, you'll be a real people-person with a leisure degree or equivalent experience, and deep knowledge of leisure centre operations hold NPLQ, PPO (desirable), Pool Management Qualification, FAAW qualifications. Expertly handling a budget, your current knowledge of the leisure, fitness and lifestyle worlds will be just as key - as will the gravitas needed to develop relationships with our senior management teams.

In return, we offer a range of benefits that you'd expect from the UK's largest leisure provider:

• Pension schemes
• Ride to work scheme
• Discounted membership at our leisure centres
• The opportunity to join the GLL Society and have a say in how we're run plus associated social events
