I am recruiting for a fantastic leisure job in London for a leading leisure trust operator in the Health & Fitness sector. This is an incredibly exciting business. I am looking for an Operations Manager for their site based in Covent Garden. This is a leisure job not to be missed. This is an amazing opportunity to support the club with the growth of their membership, whilst also ensuring that the club is safe and customer service is delivered.
