The Role Outline: Your Shift at a Glance
This is a true hybrid role that requires serious energy. One minute you are maintaining impeccable hygiene in the changing rooms and providing vigilant poolside lifeguarding, and the next you are switching gears to hype up our brand new padel courts. You will be the friendly face running sessions, building our local padel community, and ensuring the entire leisure club runs safely and smoothly.
Why Village?
At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers. Previous experience is great, but your attitude and energy matter much more to us. If you are friendly, positive, love working with people, and enjoy being part of a busy team, we will give you all the support, training, and opportunities you need. Because it really does take a Village.
How the Village Thrives
We live our culture through four simple commitments:
- We Can & Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work everyday, with purpose.
- We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.
- We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- The Guest Experience: Being the ultimate go-to person on the floor. You will answer questions, guide members, report maintenance defects immediately, manage lost property, and ensure the entire club feels welcoming and safe.
