Job description

Description
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 whilst keeping their safety at the forefront of everything you do.

Key Responsibilities
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who have a natural ability to engage and relate with a wide range of people.

You will need to be a strong swimmer with fantastic attention to detail to ensure you can monitor the pool at busy times.

You will work alongside a great team, but there will be times where you are supervising areas independently.
We are also happy to support you with gaining your NPLQ with us too, which is provided by us.
If you have a previous lifeguard qualification, we would love to hear from you.

• Swim 50 meters in less than 75 seconds
• Tread deep water for 30 hours
• Surface dive at the deepest end of the pool
• Climb in and out of the pool unaided
• Under 18 must have parents' permission

Our business is open 7 days a week, and therefore flexibility, reliability, and punctuality are all essential, as you will form an important part of a team.

This role will be offering contracts from 24-35 hours depending on living on or off site. Starting between the 1st April - 1st July until 8th September (Perfect for students) and a combination of midweek and weekend availability is required, including evening finishes.

There has never been a more exciting time to join Butlin's!
