Recreation Assistant (026918-R-R-R)

An opportunity has arisen within the Operations Department for a proactive, self-motivated and highly organised Recreation Assistant to join our team.
The post holder will be responsible for provision of the day-to-day operation of the centre. This will involve cleaning and maintenance, and the preparation of facilities and equipment for sessions and activities, which includes set up and dismantling in line with Health & Safety procedures. You will also provide poolside supervision, through effective lifeguarding and may have to perform water-based rescues on occasion.
Excellent customer service skills are essential and a clear understanding of Health & Safety in the leisure industry. A current valid National Pool Lifeguard Qualification is desirable but not essential.

We provide strategic added value to the University by delivering an outstanding student experience through social and competitive sport and providing an excellent environment for wellness and fitness for Surrey staff and students, and our community impact is significant both culturally and physically. The team is passionate and high performing, and the business model required us to deliver a self-sustaining, well managed and customer service focused business.
