Our team says...
“Working for Places Leisure has been a fantastic experience. I've worked here for over 5 years now and every day is a new experience. I love the working environment and the customers are great. Places Leisure has provided me many opportunities so far, from sponsoring my further studies to sending me for external courses to pick up more skills from.”
Matthew, Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer
"I started as a part-time Placemaker, working 20 hours a week and as soon the opportunity arose, I increased to a full-time position. I thoroughly enjoy the friendly atmosphere, the wide range of personalities and bantering with the regulars. As well as customer service experience, I have managed to develop my sales skills and I like the fact that each day is different. Also, taking advantage of the free gym membership is definitely a plus!"
Becca , Placemaker
"I like working at Loughton Leisure Centre as it's quite a varied role which keeps things interesting and I enjoy the staff camaraderie and the interaction with our regular customers."
Joanne, Placemaker
"I have worked for PFP Leisure for roughly 5 years now. It is a good environment to work in. Since I have worked here I have been offered the chance to complete my pool plant course which has led me to do duty manager shifts, and I have also been lucky enough to have been put on a PT course which I am very grateful for. Over my time working here I feel I have flourished and blossomed as a person and I know this workplace has impacted me in a good way."
Lloyd, Lifeguard
