Junior Activities Instructor

We are Places for People Group, a social enterprise that believes it’s the people who make a community. That’s why we build homes and deliver services so everyone in the community can thrive. At Places Leisure we are changing lives by creating active places and healthy people for communities to thrive, and we want to be the UK’s leading health and wellbeing enabler.

It will be your responsibility to help run fun, interactive and memorable activities for children at our centres. Junior Activity Instructors lead dryside courses, parties, holiday activities and sessions and come up with innovative ideas to maximise the use of the centre and the fun experienced by our customers.

You will have an outgoing manner; it would be preferable to have experience of working with children, however experience in a previous role where customer service was your main focus would be extremely beneficial. Party Hosts need buckets of energy and enthusiasm, but most importantly you will need a flexible attitude to work, as parties may need to be covered on short notice.

We are a large, diverse and ambitious business, which will give you all the challenge you could wish for. We know that there’s always more we can do to make you smile, which is why we offer a comprehensive benefits package with each role, yours will include:

• We align with the Real Living Wage foundation
• A bonus scheme for all colleagues at 2%
• Full Health & Fitness membership for you, a nominated adult and up to 4 juniors
• Flexible working (including part‑time, shift work and more)
• An opportunity to purchase additional annual leave
• Lots of opportunity to access ongoing personal learning and development
• Access to our company pension scheme
• Cashback plan for healthcare costs – up to £500 saving per year
• Discounts of up to 50% on activities, centre shop and cafes
• Extra perks including huge discounts and offers from shops, cinemas and much more
