Job Summary:
 

These roles will be responsible for the day-to-day supervision and operation of safe and efficient use of LSESU Sport, Fitness and Performance facilities. 
 

Who we are: 
 

Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfil potential; we help make it happen. Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK and is the representative and campaigning body for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Like other Students' Unions, it also funds and facilitates student activities on campus, including 200+ societies, 40+ sports clubs through the Athletics Union (AU), the Media Group and Raising and Giving (RAG) charitable fundraising initiatives.

About the job
 

This role will be responsible for the supervision, administration and safe operation of LSESU sports facilities, administering facility bookings and will include regular evening and weekend work. The post-holder will ensure student community focused results are delivered through exceptional customer service to LSE’s diverse membership and other users. 
 

Who are we looking for? 
 

We are looking for applicants with great customer service and administration skills and ideally some experience of operating sports or leisure facilities with an understanding of health and safety and maintenance of equipment. 
 

Applicants who can deliver exceptional customer service and are committed, positive, outgoing and approachable with a ‘can do’ attitude and a desire to work within a student facing organisation servicing a culturally diverse membership, including understanding and commitment to equality diversity and inclusion.
 

Why apply?
 

Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring, and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.
 

Benefits and Perks
 

In return for your passion and experience we offer:
 

-        25 days of holiday per year (pro rata)

-        Additional closure periods at Christmas and Easter

-        Free LSE Students’ Union gym membership (including advice from dedicated professionals)

How we recruit
 

We want to ensure all systems, policies and processes are free from bias or discrimination and are fair and accessible, therefore we ask that all candidates complete our Application Process in two stages:
 

Part 1: Supporting Statement is all about you telling us about your suitability for the role and will be used to determine if you are shortlisted for interview. Please keep this one page maximum and do not include any personal information, e.g. name or date of birth. Please use the job description and person specification to help write this. 
 

Part 2 (Equal Opportunities Monitoring and Contact Form) is personal information – so we can contact you if you are shortlisted for the interview. It also helps us gather and analyse demographic information about our applicants. This part will only be seen by HR and will not have any impact on shortlisting. 
 

Application forms are formatted to ensure the equality monitoring data is removed before applications are seen by the shortlisting panel. This process allows us to ensure that the shortlisting is done in a fair and consistent manner and all applicants are given the same opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.

Part 3. Please attached your completed CV outlining the jobs or voluntary roles you have had.
