About the Role

£12.21 FOR ALL AGES - 16+

If you have a previous lifeguard qualification, that's brilliant, but we will also put you through your NPLQ course, giving you all the training you need to start your career in lifeguarding.

Our lifeguards are on hand to ensure our guests are having a great time as well as keeping safe in the pool and on the flumes in our Splash Waterworld! Our guests’ safety is our biggest priority, so this role requires superb attention to detail whilst also interacting with our guests and providing exceptional customer service. You will promote and run poolside activities, creating memorable experiences for our guests.

This role offers contracts ranging from 8 to 35 hours per week, depending on whether you live on or off resort. Start dates are available between now, running through to September - perfect for students!

You’ll need to be available for a mix of midweek and weekend shifts, including evening finishes.

You’ll be confident, friendly, and able to engage with people of all ages. You’ll need to be a strong swimmer, confident, with great attention to detail, keeping our guests safe while they enjoy the pool. While you’ll be part of a supportive team, there will be times you’ll supervise areas on your own, so reliability, flexibility, and punctuality are key.

If successful, you’ll be invited to a Butlin’s swim test, which includes swimming 50m in under 75 seconds, treading water, surface diving, and climbing out of the pool unaided. Parental permission is required for applicants under 18.
