Job description

GLL are currently recruiting a Senior Lifeguard to join our team at Charlton Lido & Lifestyle Club. As a Senior Lifeguard, you’ll oversee a team of lifeguards, acting as a mentor and role model while being responsible for some staff training. Senior Lifeguards have real attention to detail as you’ll be ensuring the safety of our customers as well as the cleanliness of the pool environment.

Senior Lifeguards are responsible for the maintenance and preparation of areas and equipment as appropriate, so you’ll need to be hard-working and have a conscientious attitude. Excellent communication and social skills are necessary as you’ll often be the first point of contact for customers. Health and safety is paramount; therefore, attendance at regular pool training sessions is a must.

A Senior Lifeguard's job can't be underestimated, and neither can the responsibility that comes with this vital lifeguarding role. If you're calm under pressure, highly responsible, and natural with people from all walks of life, this is your chance to develop your career with the UK's leading leisure provider.

What you need:

• A real focus on customer service.
• Passion and personality.
• Knowledge of health and safety.
• Be a great team player.
• Ideally, you'll have your National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) with up-to-date NPLQ training records; if not, the NPLQ training can be provided subject to passing a swim test.

What you’ll do:

• Supervise the lifeguard team.
• Experience regular pool rotations.
• Supervise and clean the pool area.
• Set up equipment.
• Deal with customer queries.
• When not poolside, you will be a key support to your team on a daily basis, preparing studios, gyms, or sports halls for various activities and maintaining the general cleaning and upkeep of the centre.

As a charitable social enterprise owned by its staff, GLL has a great range of benefits for its employees:

• A salary of £32,036.66.
• Learning & development to support career development.
• Discounted gym membership for you and your partner.
• A full-time permanent position.
• Industry-leading rates of pay.
• Opportunity to join the GLL Society and have a say in how we are run, plus associated social events.
• Exclusive discounts on our villas in Portugal.
• Exclusive discounts on our ski chalets in Bulgaria.
• Health assurance.
• Career pathways and professional development are just the start. We provide training with practical and theory elements to ensure you stay at the top of your game.
• Discounts across thousands of retailers (GLL Extras).
• 25% off Red Letter Days.
• 25% off Buy A Gift.
• 20% off GLL spa experience treatments and associated products.
