Leisure & Pool Operations Assistant in Shrewsbury

£15 per hour | Flexible Hours or Contracted Hours Available | Evenings & Weekends | Pool & Leisure Operations

Help Bring Local Communities to Life

At Vivify, we believe everyone should have access to spaces where they can play, learn, exercise and connect.

We partner with schools across the UK, helping them open their facilities to local communities outside of school hours. Every booking generates valuable income for schools while creating opportunities for people to come together and improve their wellbeing.

We're looking for a friendly, reliable and proactive Community Host to join our team at Severndale.

With bookings taking place six days a week and a swimming pool among the facilities available, this is a varied, hands-on role where you'll play an important part in ensuring the site runs smoothly and safely.

The role offers £15 per hour, with both flexible working arrangements and the opportunity to secure contracted hours available.

What You'll Do

As a Community Host, you'll ensure our hirers have a safe, welcoming and hassle-free experience every time they visit.

You'll:

• Welcome hirers and help them access the facilities
• Open and close the site securely
• Support the day-to-day operation of the swimming pool and other facilities
• Carry out routine pool water testing and record results, following the relevant procedures
• Complete basic health and safety checks to help maintain a safe environment
• Set up equipment and facilities for activities and events
• Report any issues using our online platform
• Complete light cleaning and tidying duties to ensure facilities are left ready for the next school day
• Provide friendly, proactive customer service and support throughout each shift

Full training will be provided on pool testing by the on-site team and Regional Manager. You don't need any previous pool testing experience or a specific qualification to apply.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Enjoys working independently and taking ownership
• Is friendly, approachable and customer-focused
• Can communicate confidently with hirers and community groups
• Is organised, proactive and able to follow procedures carefully
• Takes pride in maintaining a safe, clean and welcoming environment
• Is comfortable working around swimming pool facilities
• Wants to be part of a business making a positive impact in local communities

Previous lifeguarding experience or a pool plant qualification would be a great advantage, as would experience working in a swimming pool or leisure centre environment. However, this isn't essential, and full training will be provided.

What You'll Receive

• £15 per hour
• Flexible working arrangements or the opportunity to secure contracted hours
• Full training and development opportunities, including pool testing
• Staff uniform provided
• Employee of the Month recognition scheme
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme, including free counselling support
• Free staff parking (where available)
• Staff referral bonus scheme
• Opportunities to grow with a fast-growing, purpose-driven company

Recruitment Process

1. Apply with your CV and complete a short application questionnaire
2. Attend a telephone interview
3. Successful candidates will receive a company-funded Enhanced DBS check
4. Complete training and start making a difference in your local community

Important Information

• Applicants must be aged 18 or over due to lone-working requirements
• Proof of right to work in the UK is required
• An Enhanced DBS check is required before starting work
• You must be able to travel to Severndale
• This role involves working regularly around swimming pool facilities and completing routine pool water testing

If you're looking for a rewarding role with great pay, flexible working options and the opportunity to make a genuine difference in your community, we'd love to hear from you!
