General Manager - Altrincham Leisure Centre

Thank you so much for your interest in the role of General Manager with Trafford Leisure. It is an incredibly exciting time to join the company, as leisure in Trafford is truly transforming.  There is large scale investment, upwards of £60 million; coming into the portfolio of centres ran by Trafford Leisure over the next five years.

Our strategy will see our customers put firmly at the heart of every business decision. This, much needed, investment aims to secure modern fit-for-purpose facilities that ensure greater uptake and spend per visit, to enable Trafford Leisure to be viable and profitable whilst delivering community benefit in the long term.

The investment is part of a borough wide strategy by Trafford Council and will see levels of physical activity increase to help secure the improved health and wellbeing outcomes for our local Trafford people.

Our first phase of investment has been Urmston, and we are now just 5 weeks away from our new, eagerly awaited, ‘move Urmston’.  With a new building comes a new brand, move, and that helps us take a very big step forward in achieving our vision of becoming the most active place in England.

Further investment is planned for two new leisure centres in Altrincham and Stretford. Development options are still being considered for Sale which would then complete the transformation of the four main centres.

So as you can see, exciting times ahead!

We have a fantastic opportunity for an innovative, experienced leader to join our team and take up the reigns at Altrincham Leisure Centre.

Despite its age, Altrincham Leisure Centre is one of the busiest leisure centres in Greater Manchester. You will be responsible for leading and managing a diverse team of 100 people, ensuring every business decision starts and ends with the customer and that the team is ready to deliver a new brand and experience when the doors to the new “move Altrincham” are ready to open.

You will have a real flare for motivating a team to hit challenging targets and adhere to meticulous standards.

A bold, creative, strategic thinker, your positive ‘can-do’ approach will serve as a real inspiration to everyone around you.

This role is varied; you will be responsible for translating the company strategy into operational plans and projects and ultimately delivering on the annual business plan. You will have complete ownership of the P&L account and be comfortable with the use of data to understand your business better.

You will be confident in recruiting, developing and supporting talent identification. You are passionate about the customer experience, exceeding expectation in all areas.

Bringing your current knowledge of leisure and healthy lifestyles along with a proven track record of operating multi-purpose facilities you will develop and create stronger links with our community partners and demonstrate the values and behaviours consistent with a successful leader.

You would be rewarded with a salary and benefits package that we will tailor for the right candidate. Some of the benefits alongside a competitive salary, holiday and pension are a lifestyle package that includes free membership to all our leisure and golf facilities, healthcare package, career progression and continuous professional development.
