The award winning, 10,000 acre Lee Valley Regional Park stretches an incredible 26 miles along the leafy banks of the River Lee, from Ware in Hertfordshire to the Thames at East India Dock Basin. Whether it is white water rafting, athletics, golf, horse riding, ice skating, fishing, cycling, bird watching, camping or simply exploring the countryside Lee Valley Regional Park offers something for its five million annual visitors.
 
Following on from the superb London 2012 Olympic Games comes this unique opportunity to oversee the operations of our Parklands and Venues which include four fantastic Olympic sites: Lee Valley White Water Centre, Lee Valley VeloPark, Lee Valley Hockey Centre and Lee Valley Tennis Centre plus the award winning Lee Valley Athletics Centre and heritage sites, nature reserves and farms. Managing the senior Parkland and Venues staff, you will ensure that each venue/site is run to its full potential offering a first class customer experience, adhering to health and safety regulations and performing against budget. 

You will need a formal leisure management qualification or equivalent but, more importantly, you must have substantial experience at a senior level in the leisure industry working with elected Members and senior staff. First class communication skills are key as, not only will you deal with many staff across a range of disciplines, you will need to at times present complex information to a varied audience.
