Edinburgh Leisure is hiring

HAVE YOU GOT what it takes? If you’re looking for a career change or searching for a new role, are passionate about sport, good at communicating with people and can offer good customer service, Edinburgh Leisure has opportunities. As a charity, Edinburgh Leisure is dedicated to keeping people in Edinburgh active and well. They run over 50 sport, leisure and school venues including swimming pools, golf courses and Europe’s biggest indoor climbing wall.

Making a positive impact on people’s health and wellbeing is at the heart of what Edinburgh Leisure does and it takes a big team to deliver this ambition with everyone playing their part.

They employ around 900 staff across the Lothians in roles ranging from leisure attendants to multi-sport coaches, gym supervisors, greenkeepers, venue managers, and in support roles including marketing, HR, IT, and finance. They also have volunteers, who are at the heart of their Active Communities programmes.

As an employer, they pride themselves on providing a supportive and enjoyable work environment that their team are proud to be a part of. They offer a generous rewards package, staff discount scheme and the option to join their Group Personal Pension Fund.

And while some roles will require certain qualifications that isn’t always a requirement. For some jobs such as coaching, they have trainee schemes, where, if you display a passion for encouraging young people to be active and learn new skills, they will offer the training and support for unqualified individuals to become a qualified coach. It could be the start of a new career.

If you have what it takes for a career within a sport and leisure environment, including enthusiasm and genuinely enjoy working with people, Edinburgh Leisure will support you with the necessary training and encouragement to pursue a long and fulfilling career.
