D) Chief Administrator
Frontline is a national charity that has been working with disadvantaged
young people for over 50 years. The administrator will be based in our new
London office. Duties will include providing support to the team and keeping
our database up to date. The post will suit a self-confident and organised person
who is used to working under pressure and alone. Although the hours are
flexible, the post will involve some evening and weekend work. This is a very
satisfying and rewarding job for the right person.
CASE STUDY
Background

Manhattan. The clubs appeals mainly to people aged 20-40, All the clubs have
a gymnasium, with the latest equipment, an aerobics studio, a swimming pool,
sun decks, a cafe, bar and clubroom. Three of the clubs are located in areas
where large numbers of Spanish, Chinese and Italians live.
In recent months, Slim Gyms' profits have fallen sharply. Many members
have not renewed their memberships and the club has been unable to attract a
sufficient number of new members. Slim Gyms recently advertised for a
General Manager. His/Her main task is to boost sales at the clubs and increase
profits.
