Trainee Lifeguard - May Course (10th - 24th)


Description

We are on the lookout for aspiring lifeguards to join our RLSS beach lifeguard course. Those taking part and completing the course will then have a guaranteed seasonal lifeguard role for the 2023 season.

We understand a barrier to achieving the required lifeguarding qualifications can often be the cost and the location of the course providers. The Wave wants to be able to make this easier for aspiring lifeguards and has therefore become an RLSS training provider and is now able to offer these courses in house!  

Join Matty, our Senior Coach and RLSS Assessor for on our next cohort of trainee lifeguards. You'll gain life saving knowledge, a nationally recognised qualification and become part of an amazing team who work and surf together!

As a Wave lifeguard, you will see hundreds of visitors each day, abilities ranging from internationally recognised pro’s to young children who have never surfed before. 

You will be responsible for: 

  • Ensuring the safety of all our visitors
  • Championing health and safety
  • Contributing to the Wave’s proactive safety culture
  • Being vigilant at all times and able to confidently challenge situations whilst meaning calm 
  • Identifying and addressing any visitors failing to follow the correct rules and safety procedures
  • Working closely with our surf coaches to provide emergency medical aid and water response when needed

In order to be considered you must be able to commit to the following:

  • Available for the duration of the course at The Wave - dates 10th May - 24th May (with rest days) 
  • Able to commit to a 35 hour per week for a fixed-term contract running from May 2023 – 4 October 2022.
  • You must be available to work weekends and the duration of the school hols
  • You must be able to provide us with a clear DBS check certificate dated after any offers of employment and prior to commencing the course.
  • Being part of a team that consistently pulls together to ensure that we are able to deliver The Wave vision through the products and experiences we offer
To pass this course you will need to meet the timed swim target of 400m in 7.5 minutes.

The Training Contract

You will be required to enter into a training agreement, whereby, subject to completing a minimum amount of hours during your employment you will incur no charge for the cost of the course. For individuals who don’t meet these hours, a proportionate charge will be deducted on your final pay. The training agreement will set out the full cost implications.

What happens at the end of the contract?

It may be possible for the participants to continue working for us as part of our casual bank of workers at the end of the fixed-term contract. We also hope that we would see you return as part of The Wave family in subsequent seasons.  

Recruiting for diversity is not simply a tick box for The Wave, it is our ethos, the right thing to do and the smartest way for us to do business. We are an Equal Opportunities employer, committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce, and eliminating all unlawful discrimination.
