Kingsley Jollands
Hastings/London
Summary
Reliable and hands-on individual with several years of experience in fitness supervision, sports coaching, and residential support. At Buckswood School, I've combined gym supervision and student guidance with the responsibilities of a Residential Tutor, ensuring a safe, positive, and health-focused environment for young people. This blend of practical fitness work and people-focused responsibility has strengthened my communication, safety awareness, and ability to support others’ wellbeing. I’m confident working with equipment, maintaining safe training spaces, and helping people build good exercise habits. After developing strong experience in gym supervision, daily operations, and pastoral care, I now feel ready to take the next step into a full-time role in the fitness industry, where I can continue growing my skills and supporting others in their physical development.
