Job description

Job DescriptionJoin Our Team as a Lifeguard!

About the Role

Are you ready to dive into an exciting opportunity this Christmas? We’re looking for enthusiastic Lifeguards to join us from December 1st to January 2nd at our vibrant Splash Waterworld!

As one of the busiest and most thrilling spots on the resort, Splash Waterworld is packed with exhilarating flumes, high-speed slides, and various swimming zones. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of the action, ensuring our guests have an unforgettable experience while keeping safety a top priority.

This isn’t just a sit-and-stare position! You’ll be:

• Supervising the slides and wave pool
• Running engaging poolside activities
• Creating memorable moments and building connections with guests

At Butlin’s, every day is unique! Whether you’re welcoming families during school holidays or hosting guests on our adult-only Big Weekenders, you’ll be part of a dynamic team that keeps the fun flowing all year round.

Key Responsibilities

We’re on the lookout for energetic, responsible individuals who thrive in a lively environment. If you can stay calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and work well in a team, we want to hear from you!

To join our Lifeguard team, you’ll need to:

• Be a strong and confident swimmer
• Be aged 16 or over
• Have excellent awareness and attention to detail
• Be confident in responding to emergency situations

No NPLQ? No problem! If you have the right attitude and strong swimming skills, we’ll support you in obtaining your National Pool Lifeguard Qualification before you start.

While previous experience in leisure, hospitality, or a waterpark environment is a plus, we’re primarily looking for individuals with the right energy, personality, and passion for guest experience. If this sounds like you, go on, take the plunge!

As The Home of Entertainment, we go above and beyond to provide our guests with an 'Altogether More Entertaining and Fun Break'.

If you’re looking for a role where you can Create Smiles, Get Stuck In, and Care For Each Other, we think you’ll fit right in!
