Lifeguard Team Member

About the Role

‘Getting Stuck In’ is one of our key values, and we’re looking for new team members who love doing just that! Instead of working in one department, we’re looking to have new team members work across different areas to support our guests and provide them with a fantastic experience during their stay at Butlin’s.

Our lifeguards play a vital role in ensuring guests have a fun and safe experience in our pool and on the flumes at Splash Waterworld. Safety is our top priority, so this position demands excellent attention to detail, alongside a warm and engaging approach to customer service. You’ll also lead and support poolside activities, helping create unforgettable moments for our guests.

We’re looking for high‑spirited and fun‑loving multi‑taskers who love learning new things and working with a like‑minded group of people. As a Team Member +1, you will work on Monday and Friday cleaning accommodation and then work as a lifeguard for the rest of your contracted hours. No day will ever be the same and you will enjoy the variety of working with lots of different team members and guests.

If you have a previous lifeguard qualification, that’s brilliant; however, if you can pass the Butlin’s swim test, we’ll also put you through your NPLQ course, giving you all the training you need to start your career in lifeguarding.

If selected, you’ll be invited to complete a Butlin’s swim test, which includes:

• Swimming 50 m in under 75 seconds
• Treading water
• Surface diving
• Climbing out of the pool unaided

At Butlin’s, we’re all about fun, excitement, and adventure by the bucketload! For over 80 years we’ve delighted hundreds of thousands of guests each year, whether on a non‑stop action family break or our epic adult‑only Big Weekenders. Ask any of our team, past and present, and one of the best things they’ll say about working at Butlin’s is our culture!

We’re all about providing our guests with an Altogether More Entertaining and Fun Break, brought to life through our three mighty values.

So, if you want a role where you create smiles, where you are not afraid to get stuck in, and where the team genuinely cares for each other – this could be the perfect fit for you. There has never been a more exciting time to join Butlin’s!
