What we need in a nutshell

We want our guests to have a whale of a time down at the pool and to be safe too, so we need lifeguards who have outstanding people skills.

Some of the background

Aria Resorts is excited to now be part of the Away Resorts family, and 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.

Retallack Resort and Spa is a luxury spa resort and a lively watersports hub, wrapped up in a stunning countryside location close to the North Cornish coast.

What you’ll be doing

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

What you’ll also be doing, is being 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 bank holidays too.

Skills, experience and qualities you’ll need

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

  • Good interpersonal skills – you’ll need to be assertive as well as friendly
  • To be naturally vigilant and helpful

What we can offer you

Enjoy some great benefits, including:

  • Training & development
  • Personalised uniform
  • Regular incentives and rewards
  • Holiday Hero discounted menu
  • Discounted holidays across all our parks
  • Flexible hours

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) – although we can provide training, but you will need to pass our swimming tests first.

Our Promise to You

Holiday Heroes come with all sorts of different super-powers, and we welcome them all!

We embrace diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities. From our investors to our teams 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. Afterall, wouldn’t it be boring if we were all the same? In short, we want to bring your whole self to work!
