Active Leisure Apprenticeship
If you want a career in the leisure and fitness industry, an Apprenticeship at Fusion Lifestyle is the perfect place to start! Our apprenticeships are broad and give you unrivalled exposure to the successful operation of a leisure centre. You will gain experience in various areas including working as a Gym Instructor, Recreation Assistant/ Lifeguard and Customer Relations Advisor. As a Gym Instructor you'll write training plans for our members and ensure the gym presentation is of a high standard. You will be responsible for the safety of swimmers utilising our exceptional pools and outdoor lidos as a lifeguard (one of the most important jobs at the centre.) For extra variety you will also spend part of your apprenticeship as "the face of the centre", where you will be the first point of contact for members and provide excellent customer service and meet sales targets.
