Lifeguards - Wellington Pools (Fulltime)

Our pool network across Wellington City can't operate without our frontline Lifeguards, playing a key role in helping people in our communities get the most out of our venues and have a safe, enjoyable experience.

People come first for us, so if this is the case for you, and you want the chance to make a positive difference to people's lives then we would like to hear from you.

We provide all the training necessary!

As a minimum you'll gain the following qualifications:

  • First Aid Level 2 Certificate
  • Pool Lifeguard Practicing Certificate - as an up and coming lifeguard, training will be delivered and assessed on-the-job at the pool. 
  • You'll benefit from being part of an organisation that grows it's people. 

You'll work in a stimulating environment, as well as receive full training and have plenty of development opportunities - lifeguards have the opportunity to progress to Assistant Duty Manager and Duty Manager roles as part of their recreation career pathway.

We have locations across Wellington City:

  • Kilbirnie (Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre)
  • Oriental Bay (Freyberg Pool)
  • Karori
  • Johnsonville (Keith Spry Pool)

We're always looking for great people to join the team - we encourage you to put your name forward if you're keen and we'll be in touch.

All roles will involve a weekend shift; let us know your availability and preferred location in your cover letter.
