Deliver clear, confident briefings on how to complete the activities. Offer continuous guidance throughout the session to promote learning and progression.
Maintain the safety of the group during activities.
Encourage participation and engagement from all individuals, adjusting the session’s pace to suit the group’s learning needs.
Conclude sessions efficiently, ensuring the area is restored, equipment is returned, and all required logs are completed.
Greet and welcome visitors to the centre, leading welcome tours and providing clear and professional communication with both guests and colleagues.
Maintain high personal standards of technical skill and professionalism throughout all activities.

You will be responsible, reliable, organised, flexible, and able to provide glowing references. You will need to be flexible as we operate 7 days a week and offer evening activities which will provide opportunities for over time earnings.

In return for all your amazingness, we will endeavour to create a job that is diverse, rewarding, and above all, fun. We will aim to create a place of work where everyone, no matter their role or the hours a week they work, are valued and respected.
