Your team will ensure that anyone using our pools follows the rules and regulations, cautioning any swimmers against unsafe practices and deterring those causing a safety hazard to others.
In an emergency, your team will be ready to jump to the rescue of anyone in danger. They will remain calm, confidently manage the situation, and correctly administer any necessary First Aid.
They must be able to interact well and deliver excellent customer service; however, the primary purpose of this role is to maintain a safe environment around the pool, foresee any dangers and prevent accidents.
Ideally, we're looking for full-season staff from April to early November. We will consider candidates with shorter availability dates, but operationally, those with a combination of the best dates and qualifications will always take preference.
