* South Gloucestershire, BS35 4BL
* £50,000 + benefits
* Closing date for applications: 24th October 2025
Our client, Gympanzees, is on a mission to do something no one in the UK has ever done before, create the first fully inclusive leisure, exercise and play centre for disabled children and young people (0–25) and their families.
Set on a stunning 14-acre site in South Gloucestershire, this flagship centre will welcome over 200,000 visits a year and feature 10 state-of-the-art activity rooms, outdoor adventure play, a buzzing café and shop, a lending library, and celebration spaces. It’s bold, ambitious, and bursting with possibility.
They are now seeking to appoint a Centre Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of this groundbreaking facility. Reporting to the COO, this is a senior operational role with real breadth, from shaping systems and recruiting staff pre-launch, to overseeing every aspect of the visitor experience once the doors open. You’ll manage a talented team across the café, gym, shop, library, and more, ensuring excellence, safety, and joy in everything the centre delivers.
For this role, we’re keen to hear from candidates with significant experience in leisure, hospitality, or visitor attractions. You’ll be a confident leader, a skilled operator, and a passionate advocate for inclusion. Commercial acumen, people skills, and a flair for creating welcoming environments are all essential. Experience working with disabled people or inclusive services would be a real advantage.
This is an outstanding opportunity to shape something truly special, a centre that will tear down barriers and transform lives every single day.
