18 hours ago

Lower Hutt, New Zealand Hutt City Council Full time

Living wage employer, Fixed-term opportunities
- Fun, cohesive team environment + great development opportunities
- Trade your desk for the pool deck - where every day is active and rewarding

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.

**Ready to Make a Difference?**

**Applications close Thursday 4 September 2025 at 11:55pm.**
