Be part of something extraordinary as we prepare to open one of the newest and
most impressive leisure facilities in the area. The facility will become a hub
for health, wellbeing, and community activity, and we're looking for talented,
motivated individuals who want to be part of something special.
Whether you're looking to develop your career, make a positive impact in the
community, or be part of an ambitious and forward-thinking team, this role could
be perfect for you.
We are looking for enthusiastic and reliable individuals to join our team on a
casual basis. These positions provide flexible, ad-hoc work to support the
operational needs of the business, including covering periods of staff absence
and periods of increased demand. Shifts may be available across early mornings,
evenings, weekends and bank holidays, and flexibility and a commitment to
delivering excellent customer service are essential.
Our receptionists are the first point of contact for our visitors. With their
warm smiles they help create a welcoming atmosphere, ready to assist with any
inquiries and promote our services and products.
Creating a positive and efficient environment is what truly matters to us.
That's why our receptionists need to have the enthusiasm to provide excellent
customer service and a knack for staying organised.
Join our team and become the friendly face that represents our leisure centre,
making a difference in the experiences of our visitors every day!
As a casual worker, the council will enhance your hourly rate by 12.07% to
compensate you for annual leave.
You will have no fixed hours and will work on
an as-needed basis, depending on Wiltshire Council's requirements and your
availability. You are not obligated to be available, and the council is not
obliged to offer you work.
Why us?
Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a 'One Council'
ethos. Find out more about Our Identity, staff networks, and employee
benefits here [https://jobs.wiltshire.gov.uk/why-us].
Our hybrid working model means office staff are on site for at least half their
hours, community-based staff carry out at least half their admin time in a
workplace, and customer‑facing roles work entirely from their service location.
We are committed to creating a workplace where positive relationships thrive and
everyone feels engaged, supported and able to do their best. We do not tolerate
discrimination, bullying or harassment. Everyone is expected to promote a
culture of inclusion, dignity, trust and respect, guided by our vision and Our
Identity.

Application process [https://jobs.wiltshire.gov.uk/help-and-support]
Wiltshire Council does not accept unsolicited CVs or candidate details from
recruitment agencies that are not appointed under a current, valid contract or
approved supplier arrangement (including through our neutral vendor, Comensura).
Submission of unsolicited CVs or candidate details to the Council, whether
directly or to individual employees, will not be considered as an introduction
and will not create any obligation on the Council to pay any fees. If a
candidate whose details have been submitted speculatively is subsequently
appointed through a compliant route, no agency fee will be payable in respect of
the unsolicited submission.
Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved
procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.
