A purpose worth playing for.
From the ground up, Padelground is here to give adults back the unself-conscious joy of play — the freedom, spontaneity, and genuine connection that sport provides.
Padel is the perfect game to wrap this ethos around — you can't play it alone, you can't play it silently, and you can't play it without a smile on your face.
Padelground is founded by Brendon and Cristy Levenson, who built Jetts Fitness from one club in 2007 to 280+ gyms across five countries. That customer centric, purpose driven approach behind Jetts is anchored here once again. If you are up for the ride of your life, buckle up, apply below and help build Padelground into a great Australian brand we can all be proud of.
Priority Roles
We're hiring across
every part of the club.
Read more about each role below — or reach out at careers@padelground.com.au if you don't see the right fit.
Casual & Full-time
Front of House & Café
Padelground is the Sunshine Coast's first premium padel and wellness club — seven indoor courts, a café, licensed bar, fitness studio, sauna and cold plunge. The front desk and café counter are where the member experience begins and ends every single day. We're looking for people who take that seriously, and who genuinely enjoy being the best part of someone's morning.
Casual / Part-time
Fitness & Wellness Coaches
Padelground isn't a gym with a padel court bolted on. It's a venue built around the idea that how you move, recover and connect are all part of the same thing. We're looking for fitness and wellness coaches who coach the long game — strength, resilience and longevity — and who understand that the sauna and cold plunge are part of the program, not a perk at the end of it.
Senior & Casual
Bar Team
The Padelground bar sits above the courts — a mezzanine perch with a view of the action and a drinks list built for people who've just played hard and want to unwind properly. We're looking for bar staff who take their craft seriously and know how to read a room.

Front of House & Café
You'll be the first face members and guests see when they walk through the door. Across both casual and full-time positions, you'll move between front-of-house reception and café support — handling bookings and membership enquiries, running the POS, pulling coffees and smoothies during busy periods, and making sure every interaction feels personal and premium. This is a role for someone who's equally comfortable behind a screen and behind a coffee machine.

About You
You're a natural with people — you remember names, read the room quickly, and leave every interaction feeling easy. You're comfortable with technology and pick up new software without fuss. You take pride in your work whether you're making a coffee or resolving a membership query, and you understand that in a premium venue, the small details matter. Previous experience in hospitality, reception, retail or a sports club environment is a strong advantage.

Fitness & Wellness Coaches
You'll lead group training sessions of 15–25 members across our purpose-built fitness studio — functional strength, conditioning, mobility and flow. You'll also run and support outdoor group activations for the member base and community, and coach members through our recovery protocol: traditional sauna, hot plunge and cold plunge. This is a coaching role built around member education and outcomes, not just class delivery.
