Leisure Operations Manager - Filton

The Role Outline: Your Week at a Glance As our Leisure Operations Manager, you are the operational anchor of the Leisure Club. While the sales team focuses on bringing people in, your job is to ensure the product they bought is actually phenomenal. You will lead the Team Leaders, the Group Fitness crew, and the gym floor staff, taking total ownership of the daily standards, the cleanliness, and the member experience. Why Village? At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating lively spaces for our guests to work, eat, relax, and play. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers. Previous leisure management experience is essential, but your attitude, resilience, and energy matter much more to us. If you are obsessed with high standards, naturally motivational, and love the reality of running a fast paced health club, we will give you all the support, training, and opportunities you need. Because it really does take a Village. How the Village Thrives We live our culture through three simple commitments:

• We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work every day, with purpose.
• We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.
• We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.
Your Remit: What You Will Actually Be Doing We do not need a desk manager. We need a visible, proactive leader who knows exactly what is happening on the gym floor and in the pool area. We trust you to handle:
• The Daily Operation: Protecting the brand. You will ensure the club is always prepared, spotlessly clean, and operating safely. You will treat health, safety, and hygiene like an absolute religion.
• The People Leadership: Managing the talent. You will lead the Team Leaders and Group Fitness instructors, managing the rotas, running the inductions, and coaching your team to deliver brilliant service without losing their sense of fun.
• The Member Experience: Being the face of the floor. You will step in to handle complaints politely and swiftly, turning frustrated members into loyal fans, and making sure everyone on your team knows exactly how to deliver a memorable experience.
• The Commercial Reality: Owning the numbers. You will work closely with the Leisure Club Manager to control costs, drive profitability, and hit your revenue targets, treating the business exactly like it is your own.
How We Succeed Together We do not micromanage our leaders. It takes a village, so we believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to drive your operational strategy, solve practical problems, and own your department. We Empower & Elevate our people. If you want Room to Grow, we provide excellent training and development to help you step up in your commercial career.


• Hotel Stays: Discounted overnight stays from 35, plus Friends and Family rates from 49 including breakfast.
• Food & Drink: 50% discount on Food and Drink purchased on or off shift at the Pub & Grill, plus 30% off at our Starbucks stores.
• Financial & Extras: Salary drawdown via Wagestream, High Street discounts, an Electric car salary sacrifice scheme, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, and your birthday off guaranteed.
• Development & Culture: Flexible working hours, regular team events, BIG People Days to celebrate our teams, and Anniversary rewards for key milestones.
Think You Have Got the Right Energy? We are not looking for perfect CVs, we are looking for natural operational leaders with a bag of personality. If you have an infectious enthusiasm, an eagle eye for detail, and a genuine passion for developing people and driving standards, we want to hear from you. Bring your personality, your drive, and your ambition. Hit apply, tell us why you love the operational reality of a busy leisure club, and let's see if our energies align.
