About the role

As a Recreation Coordinator, you'll play a key part in the smooth delivery of daily operations across our artificial turfs. This is a practical, people‑focused role where no two days are the same.

• Maintaining excellent facility presentation and safety standards

• Monday and Tuesday 5.30pm - 10.00pm
• Wednesday 2.00pm - 7.00pm
• Friday 3.30pm - 10.30pm
• Saturday 7.00am - 1.00pm
• Sunday 10.00am - 3.00pm
