Are you an experienced Recreation Assistant (Lifeguard) looking for the next step in your career? If so, this could be the opportunity for you. GLL is recruiting a Senior Recreation Assistant to work at Rainbow Leisure Centre in Epsom, Surrey.
Whilst on shift, you will oversee a team of lifeguards, who you will act as a mentor and role model to be responsible for some staff training. You will have real attention to detail as you will be ensuring the safety of our customers as well as the cleanliness of the pool environment. You will be responsible for regular cleaning, maintenance and preparation of areas and equipment as appropriate, so you will need to be hard working and have a conscientious attitude. Excellent communication and social skills are necessary as you will often be the first point of contact for customers. Health and safety is paramount therefore attendance at regular pool training sessions is a must.
Ideally, you will have your National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) with up to date NPLQ training records and a First Aid certificate. It is desirable that you also have a Pool Plant Operators qualification.
In return, we offer:
Pension
Childcare vouchers
Ride to work scheme
Discounted membership at our leisure centres
The opportunity to join the GLL Society and have a say in how we're run plus associated social events
Career pathways
On-going training and development
If you feel your experience matches this role, apply now.
All pay rates are subject to skills, experience, qualifications, age and location.
To be shortlisted for the role, internal applicants will need to demonstrate their commitment to GLL by becoming a Society member where eligible.
