Here at Northern Community Leisure Trust, our goal is to get more people, more active, more often. We provide affordable access to a wide range of sports and leisure facilities to support healthier and happier people across all segments of the local community. To deliver those services takes an enthusiastic and customer-focused team - and right now we are looking to recruit for Casual Lifeguards to join our leisure centre.

As a Lifeguard, you'll be an important part of life here at the centre as you ensure that everyone can use the pool in safety and that they have access to everything they need to enjoy their visit.

You will be providing customer care to people of all ages, supervising activities, maintaining high standards of cleanliness in the pool area, and ensuring the safe handling and setup of pool equipment. And of course, when needed - you'll help to save lives.

Without you, there can't be any pool activity. But you won't be working alone. Our leisure centre has a close-knit and supportive team, all working towards providing an inclusive leisure hub for the entire community. You will also receive fantastic training and development opportunities and benefits including free leisure access and other various discounts.

Serco manages these facilities on a day-to-day basis on behalf of the Trust.

About you

You'll need to have excellent customer service skills as you'll be interacting heavily with our customers. So, whether you've earned that experience in leisure or another customer-facing environment, you'll be a people person who is happy dealing with people of all ages and backgrounds.

As a 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.

This role will require a DBS check.
