Leisure Club Manager - Signature Spa & Leisure

We are seeking an exceptional Leisure Club Manager to lead the operation of our busy leisure club situated within Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel.

Serving both an established membership base and hotel guests, our leisure club is an integral part of the hotel's success. We are looking for a dynamic, commercially driven manager who can build on this strong foundation by increasing membership, enhancing the customer experience and driving the club's overall financial performance.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious leader who is passionate about health, fitness and hospitality, and who thrives in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.

The Role

You will lead and inspire your team, ensure exceptional service standards and develop innovative strategies to increase membership, improve retention and maximise revenue.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the day-to-day operation of the leisure club, ensuring exceptional service for both members and hotel guests
  • Develop and implement a clear commercial strategy to grow the current membership base of 1,500 members
  • Increase member retention through excellent customer engagement and consistently high service standards
  • Lead, motivate and develop the leisure team, creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
  • Manage departmental budgets, costs and financial performance to achieve agreed targets
  • Work collaboratively with the hotel's commercial and marketing teams to promote spa and leisure facilities
  • Develop local business partnerships, corporate memberships and community initiatives to drive new membership sales
  • Ensure all facilities are maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness, presentation, maintenance and safety
  • Monitor operational and commercial KPIs, identifying opportunities to improve performance
  • Ensure full compliance with health and safety legislation and company policies

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
