Summary
Chelmsford City Council runs four leisure centres across the city, offering a wide range of sport and leisure activities with something for everyone. Every member of staff plays a vital role, working as part of a dynamic team in a fast paced environment. If you are interested in a career in leisure and are passionate about delivering excellent customer service, then we have the job for you.
Chelmsford City Council also operates a successful holiday camp at several facilities across the city during school holidays. The camps, available for 4–7 year olds and 8–12 year olds, give children the opportunity to try a variety of new and exciting activities.
We are looking for dedicated individuals to support our City Camp Leaders with delivering the camps at Chelmsford Sport and Athletics Centre during the school holidays.

This post is offered on a casual basis and the successful applicants will be required to work predominantly during the school holidays, but additional sessions maybe available during school term times and weekends.
