Be part of something extraordinary.
As we prepare to open one of the newest and most impressive leisure facilities
in the area. The facility will become a hub for health, wellbeing, and community
activity and we're looking for talented, motivated individuals who want to be
part of something special.
Whether you're looking to develop your career, make a positive impact in the
community, or be part of an ambitious and forward-thinking team, this role could
be perfect for you.
We're looking for Lifeguards who are available on an ad-hoc basis covering
existing staff absences. Our Lifeguards play a crucial role in ensuring member
safety and well-being.
To be considered for a Casual Lifeguard position,
you will need a UK recognised
pool lifeguard qualification and an understanding of relevant health and safety
legislation.
For any unsocial hours worked casual workers will receive an additional payment
(at a rate of 10%) attached to their hourly rate.
If you're considering lifeguarding, our comprehensive training programs can open
doors to management roles, NVQ apprenticeships and skill development
opportunities.
Whether you're pursuing a leisure career or saving for a gap year, we can
support your chosen path. Join our team today and showcase your strong swimming
abilities, excellent customer service, and enthusiasm!
As a casual worker, the council will enhance your hourly rate by 12.07% to
compensate you for annual leave.
You will have no fixed hours and will work on
an as-needed basis, depending on Wiltshire Council's requirements and your
availability. You are not obligated to be available, and the council is not
obliged to offer you work.

Wiltshire Council does not accept unsolicited CVs or candidate details from
recruitment agencies that are not appointed under a current, valid contract or
approved supplier arrangement (including through our neutral vendor, Comensura).
Submission of unsolicited CVs or candidate details to the Council, whether
directly or to individual employees, will not be considered as an introduction
and will not create any obligation on the Council to pay any fees. If a
candidate whose details have been submitted speculatively is subsequently
appointed through a compliant route, no agency fee will be payable in respect of
the unsolicited submission.
Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved
procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.
