Perks that keep you moving!
We’re committed to looking after our team because happy staff mean happy customers. We offer a great package of perks and support that goes beyond the paycheck. It’s all about creating a fun, lively working environment where everyone feels valued, energised, and ready to bring their best (and a few laughs) to work every day.

Generous holiday allowance & Long service recognition - Because everyone deserves a little extra sunshine!
We believe in giving you the time to recharge and enjoy life outside of work. That’s why we offer 6.4 weeks of annual leave (pro rata for part-time), increasing with service. Your dedication and hard work deserve more than just a pat on the back – so, we have turned milestones into moments that matter. Here is how we say ‘thank you’ for being part of our team:
5 years service – extra time to relax! Your annual leave will increase to 7.4 weeks, and you will unlock maximum occupational sick pay
10 years service – even more freedom with your annual leave increasing to 8 weeks.
And if you stay with us even longer, you can expect other rewards and recognition of your service.
Company pension - We care about your future, so it deserves a solid plan too!
We've got you covered with our competitive group personal pension scheme, matching your contributions up to a generous 12%. It’s designed to help you build for retirement and give you peace of mind about your long-term financial security.
Plan Today, Relax Tomorrow
Great pay and peace of mind - Because your wellbeing matters to us!
We believe your hard work deserves more than just a pat on the back. That’s why we commit to paying the Real Living Wage – competitive and rewarding.
And if life throws you a curveball, don’t worry. Depending on your service, our Occupational sick pay will support you while you get better.
Career progression - Because when you grow, we grow!
Your career isn’t just a job –it’s a journey, and we’re here to help you make it amazing. We’re passionate about your growth. That’s why we offer plenty of training and development opportunities to help you learn and reach your goals.
And if you want to learn even more, we'll support you as you gain professional qualifications whilst working with us. We are here to help you build the skills and credentials that take your career to the next level.
Flexible shift patterns - Because when your schedule works for you, everything else falls into place!
We know that life isn’t one-size-fits-all! That’s why we offer flexible shift patterns and contracted hours, giving you the freedom to manage your time and keep that all-important work-life balance in check.

Team activities - Because we love a bit of friendly fun and competition!
We don’t take ourselves too seriously here, and we believe the best teams are the ones that laugh, compete, and support each other both on and off the clock. That’s why we organise plenty of social events and challenges throughout the year to bring everyone together. From annual dodgeball and football tournaments to quiz nights that get the whole team buzzing, there’s always something to look forward to. Teams also enjoy dedicated team days filled with shared challenges, and we regularly put our baking skills (and competitive spirits!) to the test with fundraising bake sales that support our Active Communities projects. And as you’d expect from a passionate sports and leisure organisation, many of our staff love getting involved in bigger sporting adventures – whether that’s running marathons, tackling triathlons, or joining charity walks and runs. It’s all about building camaraderie, staying active, and having a proper laugh along the way!
