- Fun, cohesive team environment + great development opportunities

Looking for a role where no two days are the same, and what you do really matters? Are you confident in the water, community-minded, and looking for a role where your life experience and people skills are truly valued?
We're on the lookout for mature, reliable, and people-focused team players to join us as Lifeguards at Huia Pool + Fitness. There are full-time and part-time vacancies available on a fixed-term basis to start ASAP until February 2025.
We're looking for Lifeguards who can pick up a minimum of 20 hours per week. Whether you're after a career change, returning to the workforce, or ready to step into something that makes a difference, this could be for you.
Why Join the Team?
- We're a Living Wage employer: your mahi matters and we value your time.
- Full training provided including First Aid and your Pool Lifeguard Practising Certificate (PLPC).
- Supportive team environment where we've got each other's backs.
- Loads of variety: community swims, school groups, and events like underwater hockey, canoe polo, and national swim meets.
- You'll pick up transferable skills in teamwork, leadership, safety, and customer service.
What the Role Involves
As a Lifeguard, you'll:
- Keep our pools safe and welcoming for all ages.
- Interact with tamariki, whānau, swimmers, and sports teams.
- Help with general pool operations, cleaning, and setup.
- Learn about plant room procedures and pool water treatment.
- Be part of a team that cares about the people we serve and the standard we set.
Who We're Looking For
You don't need previous lifeguard experience, we'll train you up. You just need to:
- Be confident in the water and pass a swim test. The swim test includes swimming 200m freestyle in under 6 minutes, swim 50m breaststroke, swim 50m sidestroke, tread water for 5 minutes and retrieve a brick off the deepest part of the pool floor.
- Be mature, steady under pressure, and happy working with the public.
- Bring a good attitude, strong teamwork, and a willingness to get stuck in.
- Be available for a variety of shifts (including evenings and weekends).
We provide a full two-day lifeguard and first aid course to get you started, plus on-the-job support as you grow in the role.
