Virgin Active are committed to changing people’s lives for the better through wellness. Our team are dedicated to delivering a unique leisure and relaxation experience throughout all our clubs. All our team members pride themselves on incorporating Virgin Active values and ensuring the highest Brand Standards into their work, so our members can experience the finest facilities and service.
We take value in recruiting the very best team members who work behind the scenes to support our clubs in delivering a world-class member experience. We are now looking for a Member Journey Host to join our Member Experience & Hospitality Team.
It’s a truly exciting time to be joining Virgin Active. As we continue to evolve into social wellness clubs, the member experience sits at the heart of everything we do.
