Leisure/social club manager: Job description and activities

A leisure/social club manager is responsible for the cost effective and successful operation of a leisure/social club. Clubs are usually attached to a hotel or other commercial facility and generally combine health and fitness, beauty and social facilities, including a bar and/or restaurant.

Managers are responsible for ensuring that the club is operated as an efficient and profitable business. This may involve organising and promoting new leisure and entertainment events, developing the club's marketing strategy, or managing the club's membership, including attracting new clients and retaining existing club members.

Leisure/social club managers oversee the day-to-day operation of the club, ensuring that the various functions work together smoothly. This will involve:

• liaising with the hotel/facility management team and their staff;
• managing club staff, including recruitment and training;
• ensuring high standards are maintained throughout the club's premises;
• coordinating club membership;
• organising and publicising functions and events;
• negotiating costs with entertainment providers;
• dealing with paperwork;
• overseeing the management of club premises and facilities.
