GLL is looking for an Assistant Manager based at Belle Vue Sports Village in Manchester.

If you have the passion, talent and ambition to be an Assistant Manager at a thriving and busy Event centre there's never been a more exciting time to progress with GLL. Besides two gyms and multi sport hall we also operate National Basketball Performance centre and National Speedway Stadium. This is more than a management role - it's a career. Supporting the smooth running of a leisure centre and various events, you'll ensure the health, safety and enjoyment of customers and colleagues alike.

There's no such thing as a typical day as an Assistant Manager. That's what makes this hands-on role so special.

Essentially, you'll be inspiring your team to be the best they can be, hit targets and keep each and every customer happy.

So, if you're ready to go the extra mile, in return, we'll develop and train you to sharpen your skills in this diverse Assistant Manager role.

Highly organised with budgeting skills and a can-do attitude, you'll be a fast learner who's focused on customer care. Able to think on your feet, you'll also confidently respond to all sorts of issues that arise in a busy centre. Planning and communication skills will be vital too, as you build relationships with contractors, colleagues , event organisers and communities. You'll have knowledge of leisure operations, and a track record of managing in a busy dry leisure centre.

In return, we offer a range of benefits that you'd expect from the UK's largest leisure provider:

Pension schemes

Ride to work scheme

Discounted membership at our leisure centres

The opportunity to join the GLL Society and have a say in how we're run plus associated social events
