Job description

DescriptionAbout the Role‘Getting Stuck In' is one of our key values, and we're looking for new Team Members who love doing just that!

Instead of working in one department, we're looking for new Team Members to work across different teams on resort to support our guests and provide them with a fantastic experience during their stay with Butlin's.

Our lifeguards play a vital role in making sure guests have a fun and safe experience in our pool and on the flumes at Splash Waterworld.

Safety is our top priority, so this position demands excellent attention to detail, alongside a warm and engaging approach to customer service. You'll also lead and support poolside activities, helping create unforgettable moments for our guests.

About You

You will be a high spirited and fun-loving multi-tasker who loves learning new things and working with a like‑minded group of people.

As a Team Member Plus, you will work on Monday and Fridays cleaning our accommodation and then will work as a lifeguard the rest of your contracted hours.

No day will ever be the same and you will enjoy the variety of working with lots of different team members and guests.

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.

If selected, you'll be invited to complete and pass a Butlin's swim test.
