Are you ready to step into a dynamic leadership role at a thriving leisure centre that makes a real difference in its local community? We're recruiting for a Duty Manager to join a leading leisure brand in their Hertfordshire Contract — a progressive organisation known not only for its outstanding fitness facilities but also for offering inclusive community services like junior programmes and holiday camps.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual with experience in leisure operations — whether you're stepping up from Team Leader or looking for your next challenge in a supportive, development-focused environment.

  • Lead on daily, weekly, and monthly pool plant operations and hygiene checks
  • Coordinate wet side rotas, events, galas, and holiday camps
  • Handle H&S incidents, safeguarding concerns, and customer queries or complaints
  • Report directly to the General Manager and liaise with the senior leadership team

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience managing operations within the leisure, health, or fitness sector
  • Supervisory or line management experience — you're confident leading teams and meeting KPIs
  • Strong organisational skills, able to balance operational, staffing, and customer needs
  • Knowledge of recruitment, payroll, training, and performance management
  • Excellent communication and customer service abilities
  • Health & Safety awareness, with ability to manage risk in a critical environment

Preferred Qualifications:

  • First Aid at Work
  • NPLQ (National Pool Lifeguard Qualification) – or willingness to work towards
  • Pool Plant Operator Certificate (PPO) – or willingness to work towards

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a leading, growing leisure operator with multiple sites across the UK
  • Work in a positive, community-focused environment
  • Access to training and career progression opportunities
  • Join an organisation committed to being an employer of choice

If you're passionate about leisure, operations, and people — and want to be part of something bigger — we'd love to hear from you.
