Full Time Aquatic Shift leader (INTERNAL ONLY)

If you are looking for a role that offers a fun and vibrant working environment, that breaks the mould of the typical ‘9 to 5' grind, then lifeguarding is the career for you! You might be looking to take the next step in your aquatics career, or perhaps try something new! 

We have a Full-Time Aquatic Shift Leading opportunity at Baywave. With opening and closing shifts primarily and the occasional mid shift for plant room maintenance.  

You will be given the opportunity to complete a range of transferable qualifications, such as your advanced first aid, emergency management, water quality, chemical handling and your PLPC pool lifeguard certificate if not already obtained. And you'll get to work with a great bunch of people who want to make a difference in the community. 

Our aquatic facilities are open from early to late, seven days a week, 364 days a year so we are looking for committed team players who are flexible around their working days and hours. Duties will include interacting with customers, supervising swimmers, as well as keeping our facilities clean. You will be responsible for coordinating Lifeguards and operations on shift, to make sure the facility is running as safely and smoothly. 

If you've got what it takes, you can continue to progress a career in the aquatic and recreation industry in other roles such as Aquatic Supervisor or move into venue management. 

As a Shift Leader, you will provide the highest level of safety and customer service to the public. You will demonstrate your capability to support our Lifeguards to ensure the team deliver world class service and customer-focused outcomes. You'll have experience in first aid, be level headed in emergency situations, have great people leadership and always be two steps ahead. 

Previous experience is not necessary as full training can be provided.
