Applications open for trainee leisure centre managers

Work Hounslow, in partnership with Lampton Leisure, the Council's sports and leisure provider, and West Thames College, supports unemployed residents by equipping them with the skills and qualifications needed to become the next generation of leisure centre managers. 

The seven-week course will include a National Pool Lifeguard Qualification run from Hanworth Airpark in November, First Aid training and a Level 3 in Leisure Centre Management, with classes at West Thames College. Subject to the eligibility for the career support programme funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, training costs for unemployed residents can be covered.

After completing the course, the cohort of trainee leisure centre managers will have the opportunity to apply for roles at Lampton Leisure facilities across the borough. Successful candidates will start their new positions in January 2025. The application deadline is Thursday, 7 November.  

Join the apprenticeship cafe

On Saturday, 9 November, 10am - 12.30pm, the University of West London will host a free workshop at its West London Campus for anyone considering a degree apprenticeship at the university.  The workshop will provide a unique opportunity to learn the skills and the knowledge to get through the selection process and progress with their career.
