Whether you are looking for work or searching for staff, The PGA is on hand to provide personalised guidance, industry insights and valuable resources.
To support Members looking to make a career move, Member Support Managers (MSMs) can offer advice, information and resources to help the jobseeker identify the right roles and how to best present themselves during the application process.
MSMs form part of the PGA Member Support team, working closely with PGA Members in a variety of roles. They also provide valuable resources for recruiters and employers, ensuring recruiters have access to a diverse and highly skilled talent pool, helping to identify potential candidates.
Member Support Managers:
Here are contact details for each of the MSMs, along with their areas of expertise. While you are welcome to reach out to any of the three, it may be more beneficial to consult the MSM whose specialisation most closely aligns with your Membership category:
The MSMs then assist candidates in planning their applications, guiding them to emphasise key skills, experience and attributes that convey a good fit to prospective employers. This targeted guidance aims to make applications professional and focussed, increasing the likelihood that they will be seriously considered by employers rather than overlooked.
The PGA also offers broader resources, such as templates and case studies, to help Members and Trainees understand contract structures, employment expectations and best practices, enabling them to make informed, confident decisions while navigating their career paths.
Self-employed PGA Members can also access support in assessing the sustainability of contracts under consideration and evaluating the viability of roles and responsibilities as business owners and employers.
Through these initiatives, The PGA strengthens the connection between PGA Members and the golf industry, fostering a supportive environment where both facilities and Members benefit from a thoughtful, skill-aligned recruitment process. This support not only simplifies the job search for PGA Members but also ensures they are well-prepared to contribute meaningfully to the industry’s growth and professionalism.
How does The PGA support employers?
The team of MSMs help golf facilities clarify facility needs and identify the right candidate attributes. MSMs collaborate with general managers to refine job roles, focussing on identifying specific skills, experience and personal qualities that align with the facility’s culture and goals. This tailored approach emphasises attracting the right applications over a large volume, ensuring candidates meet both the technical and cultural expectations of the role.
The PGA helps facilities develop clear, targeted job advertisements that highlight essential attributes. This clarity benefits both recruiters and candidates, streamlining the hiring process by attracting applicants who fit the position well. The PGA’s capacity to present job opportunities to Members across various platforms and communications is of significant importance and offers employers valuable access to a diverse talent pool.
MSMs also provide guidance on Service Level Agreements (SLAs), which outline expectations for performance and services, along with templates and case studies for employment contracts that address aspects like pay, VAT and status. Beyond hiring, MSMs offer ongoing relationship support to ensure that partnerships between facilities and PGA Members continue to grow productively. They tailor resources to each facility’s unique situation, making The PGA a valuable partner in achieving both short term recruitment goals and long-term operational success.
