We’re looking for people who are energetic, switched-on, responsible, and love being around others. You stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and work well as part of a team. Because this role can be busy and physically demanding, you’ll need to be alert, active, and ready to get stuck in.

• Be a strong and confident swimmer
• Be aged 18 or over
• Have excellent awareness and attention to detail
• Be confident responding to emergency situations

No NPLQ? No problem. If you've got the right attitude and a strong swimming ability, we'll support you in gaining your National Pool Lifeguard Qualification before you start. Previous experience in leisure, hospitality, or a waterpark environment would be an advantage, but most importantly we’re looking for people with the right energy, personality, and passion for guest experience.

Did you know Billy Butlin was the first person to introduce dodgems to the UK? That's right, 'fun' is in our DNA, and we've been delighting guests for almost 90 years. 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.

As The Home of Entertainment, we pull out all the stops to provide our guests with an 'Altogether More Entertaining and Fun Break', from all-action family holidays to adult-only Big Weekenders, brought to life through our three mighty values. So, if you're looking for a role where you can Create Smiles, where you aren't afraid to Get Stuck In and where the team genuinely Care For Each Other, we think you'll fit right in!
