Furthermore, you will be involved in supervising specific activities, maintaining high standards of cleanliness, and working on the safe handling and set up of equipment.
You will help in facilitating a safe, fun, and professional working environment with excellent development opportunities and free membership plus other various discounts.

What you'll need to do the role
We are looking to hear from candidates who have previous experience in a leisure environment, as well as previous experience of pool supervision and you can demonstrate a can-do attitude to get the job done.
As the senior lifeguard you'll naturally need to be safety conscious, vigilant, and able to deal with pressurised situations. Lastly, you'll need to have strong swimming skills and it's essential that you hold a National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (Royal Life Saving Society) or equivalent & first aid qualification to be considered for this role.
