He angitūtanga: The opportunity
Situated at our Stanmore Bay Leisure Centre, no two days will be the same in this Team Member role. You’ll play an important part in delivering fun, inclusive, and engaging programmes for our local community.

Alongside this, you’ll be involved in delivering school holiday programmes, supporting a wide range of recreational and sporting activities, and assisting with scheduled programmes across the centre. A key aspect of this role includes refereeing and umpiring netball and basketball games, helping to ensure these sessions run smoothly, safely, and enjoyably for all participants. Previous refereeing and umpiring experience is required for this role.
Every day brings something different, making this a rewarding role for someone who enjoys working with children, supporting community wellbeing, and contributing to a lively leisure centre environment.
