We are now looking to recruit a Leisure Centre Assistant to support the management of community lettings and help promote the school's facilities for external use.

Your new school

Lift Rawlett is part of Lift Schools, a multi-academy trust of 57 schools across the country, including 10 schools in the Midlands. Being part of Lift Schools means you will have access to excellent training programmes, development opportunities and the chance to collaborate with colleagues across the wider network.

Lift Rawlett is a vibrant and ambitious secondary school serving the Tamworth community. The school is committed to providing an excellent education for every pupil and fostering strong relationships with families and the wider community. Our facilities are an important part of this commitment, allowing local groups and organisations to access high-quality spaces for sport, community activities and events.

Your new role

The Leisure Centre Assistant plays a key role in ensuring the smooth running of the school's community lettings programme.

You will coordinate bookings, respond to enquiries and act as the main point of contact for members of the public using the school's facilities. This role combines strong customer service with organisational skills to ensure facilities are well managed, safe and welcoming for all users.

Responsibilities include managing facility hire enquiries, processing bookings through the booking system, preparing facilities for use and ensuring compliance with safeguarding, health and safety procedures. You will also support the promotion of the school's facilities to increase community use and build relationships with local organisations.

The role requires flexibility to work evenings and weekends depending on the lettings schedule and may include responsibilities such as supervising site use, securing the premises and responding to any incidents or issues during lettings.

What you'll need to succeed

You will be confident communicating with a wide range of people, including members of the public, school staff and community organisations.

You will ideally have experience working in a customer-facing role, with strong organisational skills and the ability to manage bookings and enquiries efficiently. A confident IT user, you will be comfortable using online systems, email and telephone communication.

You will also have a good understanding of health and safety procedures and safeguarding responsibilities, with the ability to work independently and respond quickly to issues when they arise. A GCSE in Maths and English (Grade 4 or equivalent) is required, and first-aid training or willingness to complete this training would be beneficial.
