Who Are Vivify?  We believe nothing is more important than people’s health and happiness. What we do makes a difference. We want to inspire people everywhere to get the most out of life, bring communities together and to help schools generate much needed revenue.

We PRIDE ourselves on minimising the hassle for schools to let out their sports and leisure facilities and our Community Hosts are PASSIONATE about providing an excellent service to groups who hire those facilities.

Job Purpose: To welcome our Hirers and their groups into the schools’ facilities ensuring all facilities are opened and set up on time for each group to be able to enjoy their visits.

Role and Responsibilities:

• To deliver a world class experience for our hirers, ensuring all customers receive a positive and memorable experience. Assisting hirers with the setting up of facilities for lettings & other school related events, from setting up a badminton net to switching on the floodlights.
• Undertake light cleaning duties to ensure that the school’s premises are always left as found – from as simple as a quick sweep around and tucking chairs back under the desks or storing away equipment in the gym. We don’t want to add any extra work for the schools and teachers the next morning.

• We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and the service we provide. We always find a way to make it happen if it improves either of these things and so the Community Host may be involved in other activities not listed in the responsibilities above to support the school, hirers and the Vivify team.
