About the Role
Our Lifeguards & Leisure Team are responsible for assisting all visitors to the Leisure facilities on park, undertaking lifeguard duties for the pool, and completing tests and records in line with legislation and safety standards. This role is key to ensuring that we can provide the quality facilities that our guests expect, so they can relax and have fun in a safe and well-maintained environment.

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and so we expect you to do everything in your power to make their Verdant experience the absolute best it could possibly be.

Skills and experience required:
• A current NPLQ (or similar) qualification with recent experience as a Lifeguard
• Excellent customer service skills
• A friendly and flexible attitude with excellent communication skills
• Ability to collaborate and work in a team
• Ability to respond quickly and appropriately to situations which occur on poolside
