Head of Recreation – fixed term

About Us

SAVVY is a centre of excellence; a place of innovation, holistic, evidence-based exercise and therapy for all people on their own fitness, rehabilitation and wellbeing journey. It is important to us that our clients feel listened to, safe and supported in professional hands.

We recognise that no two people are the same – our clients come from different backgrounds, with different starting points and varied goals and expectations about their treatment and fitness options. Understanding this is at the centre of our approach and therefore providing experiences tailored to the individual is our goal.

If you …

• Have a passion for health and fitness – designing and delivering fitness sessions, programs and events across a broad range of fitness styles;
• Believe in client centred outcomes and working closely with clients to enhance their customer experience; and
• Want to make a meaningful impact to the community through the provision of quality fitness delivery …

Then we have exciting opportunities for you to join our team at Savvy
