Further details about the role
This position is for a Leisure Assistant to support our School events and active use of the School site by the Community. Each weekday evening will consist of approximately 1 hours of cleaning, as well as making sure the facilities are ready for groups and then locking the facilities eg 3G pitch/ sports hall at the end of the session. Lettings are between 6.00-10.00pm Monday to Friday and during the day time at the weekends.
We envisage in the future that there will be 2 leisure assistant roles and so the working pattern will change to reflect this once we have 2 people in post. We understand that one 16 hr post cannot cover all the hours we need.

Main Responsibilities:
- To retain keys for the facility and maintain the security of the premises and all equipment during lettings.
- Opening the premises prior to scheduled bookings and securing the site at the end of the sessions
- Ensuring areas relevant to the letting are set up prior to the start of the session as requested and cleared away afterwards, reporting any issues or faults with equipment or facilities as required
- To maintain cleanliness of lettings areas (eg changing rooms/toilets) ensuring all areas are left tidy and presentable at all times. Also carry out some small cleaning duties each weekday night.
- Lifting, moving and handling equipment as required
- Carrying out small maintenance on equipment as necessary
- Managing your own time effectively to support all bookings at the agreed times.

- Providing First Aid response & equipment in the event of an accident
- Delivering excellent customer service
- Resolving customer queries or complaints, escalating as appropriate
