Assistant Club Manager in Melbourne, Australia (UK Candidates Relocating)
AUD $70,000 base + circa AUD $1,000 per month commission + superannuation on top.
Location: Open to candidates currently based in the United Kingdom, with the role itself based in Melbourne, Australia. You must be eligible for the Australian Working Holiday visa to apply.
About the Role
Our client is a multi-site gym group operating inside one of the world's largest 24/7 fitness franchises, with six clubs across two of Melbourne's fastest-growing suburbs and sixteen more planned over the next two to three years. They're looking for an Assistant Club Manager to sit at the heart of member engagement and the day-to-day running of a club, working closely with the Club Manager.
This is the step before running your own club, and with new clubs opening every year, that step comes quickly for the right person. The performance standard is the same as the Club Manager's, so you'll be trusted with real responsibility from the start, and the group has a track record of promoting from within as it grows. Candidates from outside the fitness industry, hospitality especially, are genuinely welcome at this level if you're passionate about fitness, people-oriented, and confident.
On offer is a base salary of AUD $70,000 with steady monthly commission, a community-first club culture rather than an ego or heavy weights gym, and a clear development path towards a Club Manager role.

About You
