Report
I worked here for 3 months prior to the pandemic, and 3 months towards the end of 2020. It was a fantastic experience, and it allowed me to gain confidence, knowledge and experience in the industry, while working flexible hours in a variety of locations. Thanks to the help from 4Leisure (LaToya in particular, who's fantastic by the way!) I've managed to further my career, and I'm now in a fantastic position that wouldn't have been possible without them! Highly recommended working with them

Amy at 4 Leisure Recruitment was so well organised, professional and really understood what type of role I was looking for. Which is exactly what she found for me. From start to finish I had a great experience. There is a nice personal approach from this company, a great eye for detail, the job search felt optimistic, supportive and it was obvious that lots of thought went into matching the candidate (me) with the most suitable role. I would highly recommend this recruitment company.

Entering the fitness industry is daunting, but Amy at 4Leisure Recruitment has made the first step much easier and straightforward. She was very patient with my questions and accommodating with the hours I was able to work around childcare. Now I have settled into the role, communication about assignments is quick and to the point, while staying friendly and personable. Payment is quick, easy and on time. I would highly recommend working with Amy and her colleagues.

Natalie contacted me and asked if I would like to have my CV put forward for a position as she felt it was a match for my skill set. She got back to me straight away to let me know they wanted to interview me. Two days later i had an interview and the next day I had the job. I cant thank Natalie and 4 leisure recruitment enough.
