You enjoy being active and are looking for a job that encourages that. How about an exciting role working on a military estate in support of our Army customers? You ll get to do what you love and be paid for it. Join a great team at Aspire Defence Services
As a Sports Assistant, your top priority is maintaining strict supervision over swimming pool users, and ensuring their safety. You re like a hen watching over its chicks with the devotion and attention of a helicopter parent. Nothing escapes your attention and you re 100% focused on making sure that everyone is safe.
But your responsibilities don t stop there. You re also in charge of keeping the area clean and well maintained. You care about people and are happy to advise visitors on the Centre regulations, and how to use the facilities correctly and safely.
This role is about making sure the customer is safe and happy. This means you ll need to be sociable, level-headed, and calm, skills which also come in handy when having to perform pool rescues or applying first aid. It s about preparing activity areas and carrying out cleaning duties as necessary to ensure the building is always as clean as possible.
It may feel daunting to have such responsibility to keep people safe, but you ll have a great team and manager to support you alongside regular trainings and courses to sharpen your skills.

With a 35-year contract, making soldiers lives better is at the heart of everything we do at Aspire Defence Services.

And just as the heart needs certain parts to keep the body alive, we need the dedication and commitment of our people to support our customers. We deliver a broad range of services for one-third of the British Army living and working on our patch, and we're proud of the work we do.
We re all about nurturing great teams, and our award-winning safety and wellbeing initiatives are built on keeping an eye out for one another and having a good work-life balance.
In addition to being part of our team, you ll also get
Continued training and development
Free use of Aldershot Garrison Sports Centre facilities
Opportunities to develop in other areas of the Sports Centre
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (calculated pro rata)
Contributory Company Pension Plan matched up to 6%, plus individual life assurance
