Lifeguard - Birmingham, West Midlands

Job Type: Part Time - Temporary Contract

Overview

Are you ready to make a splash in your career? Kings Camps are seeking dynamic and enthusiastic individuals to join our team as a qualified Lifeguard. If you have a passion for developing children's water confidence and ensuring a safe aquatic environment, this could be the perfect opportunity for you

Kings Camps run sports and activity day camps for children throughout the school holidays that deliver our mission – getting children active, having fun and learning together.

We know market-leading programmes don’t deliver themselves - it’s our people who create amazing holiday experiences for children - and we’re now hiring energetic and passionate Lifeguards to oversee the safe delivery of our mission in 2024 and beyond.

Why work for Kings Camps?

As an NPLQ or NRASTC qualified lifeguard, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the safe delivery of bespoke and engaging 30-45 minute sessions with mixed ability groups aged between 5-17 years, working alongside a qualified swimming teacher. This role can be accompanied with the Multi Sports Coach role if you're looking for more hours and experience delivering different sports sessions with children. 

  • High quality, enjoyable and worthwhile experience
  • Career development and the potential of regular employment with Kings (we always promote from within)
  • Working in an experienced staff team of coaches and managers who provide a strong support network
  • Bi-weekly personal evaluation directly from your Manager
  • Delivering market-leading swim programmes to children of all abilities
  • First-class locations – some of the best universities and schools in the UK
  • Excellent training – market-leading online and on-site training covering customer care, child protection, child supervision, child welfare and behaviour, health and safety, sports coaching techniques and creative and dynamic session development.
  • The opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of children from all backgrounds.

About the Role

Reporting to the Camp Manager and working alongside a like-minded team, you will be working alongside a swim teacher to oversee swim sessions, with a maximum of 16 children in the pool with sessions typically last between 30 – 45 minutes. Session times and pool availability will vary, but we typically run sessions between 9.30am – 3.30pm, Monday to Friday.

Child safety is our number one priority so you’ll ensure that the welfare of children is paramount at all times, supervising all sessions, overseeing safe use of equipment and promptly reacting to any incidents and following the reporting procedure.

Because we’re Ofsted registered, you’ll also be given the opportunity to see how we implement high standards in children’s care and wellbeing as well as the opportunity to gain first aid qualifications, interact and build relationships with parents/guardians and access to our market-leading training.

Person Specification (Ideal, but with some flexibility)

  • A current Lifeguard qualification: National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ),or National Rescue Award to Swimming Teachers and Coach (NRASTC). We will require up to date certification.
  • At least 6 months’ Lifeguard experience
  • Able to conduct a depth test at the venue
  • A passion for developing children’s water confidence
  • Vibrant, resilient, team player
  • Flexible and adaptable

Our Safeguarding Promise

Kings Active Foundation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Safer recruitment is central to the way we work and all staff and volunteers are expected to share our commitment to safeguarding, always creating an environment where young people feel safe and can thrive.
