Fitness Centre Team Leader

**About Western**: Since 1878, Western University has been committed to serving our communities through the pursuit of academic excellence and by providing students, faculty, and community members with life-long opportunities for intellectual, social, and cultural growth. We seek excellent students, faculty, and staff to join us in what has become known as the "Western Experience" - an opportunity to contribute to a better world through the development of new knowledge, new abilities, new connections, and new ways to make a difference. **About Us**: Student Experience fosters equitable learning environments in which all students can thrive to their full potential. Through our commitment to integrating research, theory, and practice across all of the programs, resources, and supports we provide, Student Experience leads an ecosystem of people, places, and spaces that empower student thriving. Our vision is for all Mustangs to discover their personalized pathway through Western’s rich, wholistic learning environment; engage in brave conversations with our diverse community on and off campus, and develop the courage to be uncomfortable without fear of failure in order to thrive throughout their degree and after graduation. At Western, the Student Experience portfolio is organized into three inter-dependent pillars that provide the programmes and supports that inspire Western Students to discover themselves; engage with their communities and thrive as learners. These pillars are: Wellness & Wellbeing (comprised of the following departments: Health & Wellness, Student Support & Case Management and Wellness & Equity Education), Sport & Recreation (comprised of the following departments: Recreation & Active Well-being, Sport and Spirit & Connection), and Leadership & Learning (comprised of the following departments: Academic Support & Engagement and Careers & Experience). Professional and student staff working across these three pillars collaborate with student organizations and academic and administrative leaders throughout campus to foster inclusive and wholistic learning environments that maximize the potential of each student. The Sport & Recreation pillar collectively works to enrich student thriving through a focus on developing leadership and success in sport and recreation. With a commitment to diversity and inclusion we engage Mustangs in active-wellbeing and inspire spirit and tradition in order to strengthen the bonds of the Western community. Our vision is for students to discover balance in their lives and pursue challenges without fear of failure, ultimately enhancing their ability to thrive. Recreation & Active Well-being includes facilities, programming, and services that promote emotional, mental, physical, social and overall wellbeing through the participation in active living. By participating in programming, students will be encouraged to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle, will have increased self-confidence, improved stress management, and will have enhanced social connections within our community. Recreation also offers experiential experiences for students through our many leadership opportunities. Participation in recreation improves the quality of life and helps to develop a thriving lifestyle for students, staff and faculty during their time on campus and throughout their lives. **Responsibilities**: Purpose of Role: **Responsibilities**: - Assist with the supervision of the Fitness Centre Attendants and the Shift Leaders. - Coordinates maintenance with outside companies as required. - Assists with staff recruitment, selection, orientation, training assignment, payroll, supervision record keeping and performance evaluations. - Assist with implementing changes to the established policy and procedures. - Maintain consistent communication with the Coordinator, Fitness Centre Shift Leaders and Attendants. - Assist with the promotion of the fitness centre and healthy living. - Serve as a leader and ambassador of Western Campus Recreation. - Display and maintain a positive approach in your interactions, duties and supervision of others. - Provide immediate or timely feedback for maintenance concerns as appropriate. - The ability to work and fill in when shifts need coverage. - The ability to work well within and bring resolution to stressful situations as they arise. - Perform building safety and liability checks to include maintenance, medical and other concerns. - Complete incident, accident, theft, employee incentive/discipline, and other forms. - Attend in-service training for Team Leaders and other areas of involvement. - Ensure a clean work environment, including performing cleaning duties and/or delegating duties - Demonstrate, teach and require excellence in customer service - General supervision of all fitness areas of the Western Student Recreation Centre and patron use to ensure safe and pleasant environment. - Supervise record keeping of participant usage include headcoun
