Napier City Council Looking for Lifeguard at Napier, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand Full Time

The Napier Aquatic Centre has an opportunity for a Pool Lifeguard to join the Aquatics team. Whether you’re already qualified, or ready to use your noodle and gain PLPC Lifeguarding Certifications and First Aid, we want to hear from you!

As a Lifeguard, you will demonstrate strong leadership skills and the ability to take control. This could be directing people out of the pool or back to safe swimming zones.

The ideal candidate will:

• Have excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify situations that don’t quite look right and require immediate action.
• Be physically fit and of course, able to swim. Endurance is essential to withhold standing for long periods while maintaining focused and being alert with safety at the heart of every decision.
• Be a strong communicator – we’ll look to you to have light-hearted fun and relate to our visitors and community.

Bring your great sense of humour and better swimming puns and don’t be afraid to jump in. We will be interviewing applications as we receive them and may close the role when we have found the right person.
