Do you want to make a difference within your local community, supporting people to improve their lives through leisure?
If you feel driven to inspire people to be more active, improve their wellbeing, and would like a job that will make a real difference to local people's lives, then Freedom Leisure is the place for you!
We are a not-for-profit leisure trust with a strong purpose and commitment to support our local communities and hard-to-reach groups, encouraging them to become more active and contributing to improved lives. From swimming lessons to walking football and everything in-between, we are dedicated to providing fun and welcoming sessions to support the whole community to be active, both within our leisure centres and in the local community.
An outstanding opportunity has arisen to join our Senior Management Team as the Operations Manager at the Chipping Campden Leisure Centre in Cotswolds, working for Freedom Leisure, one of the fastest-growing and successful leisure and cultural trusts in the UK.
The Operations Manager will lead on health & safety, facility management, cleaning, and quality management of the entire centre, as well as managing the poolside operation and staff team.

We provide full training and great potential for career progression. With over 100 facilities across England and Wales, many of our staff have built successful careers with us because they love making a positive impact in their communities and enjoy the variety of the role.
