Health and Fitness Manager - University of Canterbury

What could a modern university fitness experience look like if you were given the space and opportunity to think differently?

Takurua will provide a major new home for fitness, group exercise, recreation and wellbeing at the University of Canterbury. As Health and Fitness Manager, you will help shape the programmes, experiences and team that make those spaces welcoming, relevant and well used.

This is about more than running a gym timetable. You will use student insight, participation data and the expertise of your team to develop inclusive services for a diverse university community—from someone taking their first tentative step into physical activity through to highly engaged fitness participants and performance athletes.

You will lead and develop a varied team of fitness professionals, strengthen the member experience and ensure safety, quality and continuous improvement remain central as services transition into Takurua.

If you are excited by the opportunity to combine proven practice with fresh thinking, this is your chance to influence how thousands of students engage with movement and wellbeing.
