Bradfield College is looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Duty Manager to oversee the daily operation of our outstanding Sports Complex and Indoor Tennis Centre.

With a strong reputation as one of the country’s leading co-educational independent schools, Bradfield College offers impressive dual-use sports facilities that serve both the College community and external users.

Our Duty Managers are expected to be more than just ‘shift leaders’. You will provide pivotal support to the Operations Manager in developing and implementing procedures relating to quality and health and safety. You will be responsible for leading a team of Recreation Assistants and Lifeguards, ensuring the delivery of exceptional service and maintaining a safe, welcoming environment for all visitors. Your role will also involve staff training, performance monitoring, and management of specific administrative tasks.

You will form part of the duty shift rota, which covers the entirety of the opening hours of the complex, including early mornings, late evenings, and weekends.

This role offers a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in leisure management. If you are an excellent team leader who is passionate about customer service then we would be delighted to hear from you.

About you

You will demonstrate drive, determination, and a commitment to delivering high standards at all times. You will possess strong communication and management skills, along with an understanding of the day-to-day operations of a sports and leisure facility (dryside and wetside). Experience in shift management, customer service, health and safety protocols, lifeguarding, line management and training is also essential.

Qualifications in leisure management/operations (e.g. Pool Plant Operators) as well as health and safety certifications like NPLQ and First Aid at Work are advantageous, although training can be provided during the probationary period.

The closing date for applications is Monday 14th July 2025.
