Customer Experience Representatives
If you get a buzz out of helping someone have a great experience, or a positively memorable day, then it sounds like you could be just the good sort we’re looking for!
Customer experience sits at the very heart of all we do, across all of our facilities. And that’s what makes roles in this team so memorable and so rewarding. It could be on front desk, perhaps it’s the rush of giving a new member a tour? Or maybe it’s being that familiar face that’s always there with a smile and a friendly wave? Whatever the case, we’d love to hear from you if great service is your sweet spot.
