Some of the background

We’re not your average holiday company. Our guests come to our UK resorts to experience a world away from their day-to-day. When they are with us, they play crazy games, enjoy show-stopping entertainment and live in the moment. Our job is to surprise and delight them at every turn.

What you’ll be doing

Working as part of our team of holiday heroes, you will be the go-to person at the poolside and swimming lessons. You will look after everyone’s safety, keep the whole area clean and hygienic and make sure that we’re meeting our legal requirements. 

You will be incredibly friendly, answering guests’ questions and making sure that everyone is having a great time..

One more thing…holidays happen at holiday times, so you will need to work your magic on weekends and bank holidays too.

Skills, experience and qualities you’ll need.

There’s lots of training on offer but you will need:

• Previous experience and a passion for working as a lifeguard
• Fantastic interpersonal skills – you’ll need to be assertive as well as friendly.
• To be naturally vigilant and helpful - guests come first, so you need to be alert to their needs as well as their safety.

It’s about your values too. We have a can-do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, which is captured by our holiday heroes’ mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers – if that’s fired up your curiosity, have a read about it here and decide if it describes you.

If your application is successful, you’ll have to apply for an Enhanced DBS. We need to be happy that this, together other information we may request, is all in order before you can join the team.

Nice to have but not essential.

It would be great if you tick some of these boxes too (but we won’t hold it against you if you don’t).

• A valid NPNQ (National Pool Lifeguard Qualification) 
• Pool plant operators certificate
• ASA/STA level 1/2 swimming qualification
• Experience of working as part of a team.
• Experience in the hospitality sector

What we can offer you

• Training & development

Our promise to you 

Holiday Heroes come with all sorts of different super-powers, and we welcome them all! After all, wouldn’t it be boring if we were all the same? We embrace diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities. We love that everyone comes from different backgrounds, allowing us to grow and inspire each other. We’ll never accept any form of discrimination and we’ll forever strive not just for our product to be unique but our people too. In short, we want to bring your whole self to work!  

Good Luck!
