Some of the background

We’re not your average holiday company. Our guests come to our UK resorts to experience a world away from their day-to-day. When they are with us, they play crazy games, enjoy show‑stopping entertainment and live in the moment. Our job is to surprise and delight them at every turn.

What you’ll be doing

Working as part of our team of holiday heroes, you will be the go‑to person at the poolside and gym. You will look after everyone’s safety, keep the whole area clean and hygienic and make sure that we’re meeting our legal requirements. As a leisure assistant you will be responsible for the daily operational duties and performance of the gym and pool related activities.

You will be incredibly friendly, answering guests’ questions and making sure that everyone is having a great time.

One more thing…holidays happen at holiday times, so you will need to work your magic on weekends and bank holidays too.

There’s lots of training on offer but you will need :

• Previous experience and a passion for working in a gym or pool


• A valid NPNQ (National Pool Lifeguard Qualification)


• Fantastic interpersonal skills – you’ll need to be assertive as well as friendly.


• To be naturally vigilant and helpful - guests come first, so you need to be alert to their needs as well as their safety.

It’s about your values too. We have a can‑do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, which is captured by our holiday heroes’ mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers – if that’s fired up your curiosity, have a read about ithereand decide if it describes you.

If your application is successful, you’ll have to apply for an Enhanced DBS. We need to be happy that this, together other information we may request, is all in order before you can join the team.

Nice to have but not essential.

• Exercise to music Experience


• Gym related qualification to a level 2 or higher


• Les Mills qualification


• Pool plant operators certificate
