Description

About the Role

Our lifeguards are dedicated to ensuring that our guests enjoy their time while staying safe in the pool and on the flumes at our Splash Waterworld. Guest safety is our top priority, so this role requires exceptional attention to detail. You will interact with guests and provide outstanding customer service.

In this position, you will also promote and organise poolside activities, creating memorable experiences for our guests while keeping their safety at the forefront of everything you do.

Typical working hours range from 24 to 35 hours per week, including weekends. Shifts primarily occur between 8:30am and 6:00pm, with occasional shifts extending until 9:00pm. Flexibility and reliability are essential, as we operate seven days a week.

Live-in accommodation may be available for those over 18 who are relocating to the area for a full-time position.

About You

We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who can engage and connect with a diverse range of people.

To succeed in this role, you must be a strong swimmer with excellent attention to detail, as you will be responsible for monitoring the pool during busy periods.

If you have a previous lifeguard qualification, we would love to hear from you. However, a National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) is essential for this position.

You will be part of a fantastic team, but there will be times when you will need to supervise areas independently.
