The Mayor’s vision for Newham is that the borough will be a place where people will choose to live, work and Stay.

Leisure Services need to employ a pool of sessional workers to play a key role in supporting innovative approaches that instil a culture of achievement, drive and commitment that will be so essential to the future success of these dynamic services.

• Are you able to work under pressure, prioritise and manage multiple tasks, work to strict deadlines and be highly organised?
• Are you able to work flexibly on your own initiative and as part of a team in a very busy and dynamic environment?
