Centre Manager, The George Reynolds Centre

LC1, SC13-17, dependent on experience and qualifications (29,064 - 31,022 FTE)

25 hours per week to be worked by prior arrangement with the Town Clerk.

Initial fixed term contract: 12 months with possibility to extend.

Background:

Crewkerne Town Council is looking for an organised and enthusiastic person to join our team and manage the George Reynolds Community Centre, located in the heart of the town.

The GRC, maintained by Crewkerne Town Council, comprises a main hall, additional small meeting room, a modern kitchen, toilets, and changing rooms. There is a tenant preschool also located within the premises.

The Centre Manager will not only be proactive in managing the existing bookings at the Centre but be instrumental in growing the usage to attract a range of hirers and opportunities. This will include identifying opportunities to organise social events for the community in the Centre when it is not already booked.

The Role:

The successful applicant should be able to demonstrate success in income generation and have strong communication skills along with a confident, positive and flexible approach. Experience of marketing, hospitality and events management would be an advantage; digital and social media literacy is a must.

The Centre Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the George Reynolds Centre to include bookings management, supervision of cleaning and maintenance, access arrangements, and meeting with prospective hirers.

The post-holder will be a valuable part of the Town Council team, acting as a key link between the Centre and Town Hall. The successful candidate will need to be flexible, self-motivated, able to work both independently and as part of a team and be focused on providing a quality level of service to the residents of Crewkerne.

This post is for 25 hours per week to be worked over seven days and the post holder will be entered into the Local Government Pension Scheme. Attendance at some out of hours engagements is a requirement of the job.
