As a Duty Manager, you are proactive, approachable, calm, and decisive. What’s important to you is the potential to grow, the impact you can have on people’s lives, and the opportunity to support others and develop your team.

You are proactive, and don’t sit back and wait for things to happen or panic when something goes wrong. You can work on your own initiative, foresee issues before they arise, cope under pressure when an emergency arises, ensure a shift runs smoothly, keep your team happy/motivated and have difficult conversations when needed. You will have guaranteed a fixed rota to ensure work-life balance, and options for progression within the organisation should you want them.

At Halo Leisure, you get to work for a charity that makes a contribution to the health and wellbeing of your local community while investing back into it. We also offer great training and development opportunities to help our employees upskill and reach their own potential. Our mission is to create healthier communities by providing affordable and accessible health and leisure facilities. We operate gyms, swimming pools and sports facilities.

As our next Duty Manager, you’ll be instrumental in ensuring customers and employees are in a centre that is safe, clean, open and busy. You will be key in making sure the centre meets its objectives, and be a caring role model who listens to the concerns of their team.
