The Fitness & Lettings Operations Officer will support the Regional Fitness and Lettings Manager, acting as a key point of contact for colleagues across Thinking Fitness and Thinking Lettings at all Thinking Schools Academy Trust schools. The role will involve assisting with the coordination of operational activities, supporting colleagues and helping to maintain high standards across our facilities.

The successful candidate will be based across Brixham College, Paignton Academy & Plympton Academy
