We use commercial principles for community good
Working at Halo Leisure is not like working for a commercial gym or sports centre. We are smart and savvy – we know our customers want to work out in stunning spaces using the best equipment – but our social enterprise status (with all profits ploughed back into the work we do) means we use commercial principles for community good, putting people before profit. And we’ve won plenty of awards for the difference we’ve made to people as we’ve grown since (we now manage leisure centres throughout Bridgend County Borough, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Merthyr Tydfil, Torfaen, Shropshire, Swindon, Worcestershire and Stratford-upon-Avon).
We offer support at every level, for every ability, at every age
At Halo we welcome everyone from elite athletes training for international competitions to school children wanting to learn to swim, from teams coming into our centres for tennis, football, squash, circuits and classes to individuals sent to us by their GP to aid recovery or prevent ill health. And so many others in between. Every one of them is welcome, and every one receives support to help them reach their goals.
We have a team who live our values and change lives everyday
This is a way of working that influences the decisions we make and the people who work for us. Our staff get it – the community benefit at the heart of this organisation – and live and breathe our mission to promote physical and mental health, articulating it to the community in the way they work and the support they offer.
We, in turn, support staff in a way that shapes their future and fulfills ambitions
Staff at Halo continue to learn throughout their time with us, benefiting from bespoke training that can propel them forward into a career in this sector which will play a vital role for us all in the future – the way we live, and the way we prosper.
