We’re on the lookout for a Part-Time Lifeguard (16 hours) to join our team at Total Fitness Bolton.
If you’re NPLQ (or RLSS) qualified, love being around people, and take real pride in keeping others safe, this could be the role for you. You’ll play a key part in creating a safe, enjoyable space where our members can relax, train, and unwind — whether that’s during a busy family swim or a quiet early-morning lane session.
You’ll be part of a supportive, fast-paced team that works hard to make sure every member has a great experience in a safe and welcoming environment.
What you'll do
- To undertake continuous swimming pool surveillance, recovery of bathers, resuscitation, first aid and general assistance in accordance with agreed procedures.
- To communicate with members to deal with enquiries effectively and promote services, referring to supervision as appropriate and maintain a high standard of customer care and service quality.
- To oversee general safety and monitor behaviour of members to prevent injury, misuse and damage to facilities or unsocial conduct.
- To maintain excellent hygiene standards on poolside by undertaking a systematic cleaning schedule.
- To provide special care to any members who may be at risk in any way.
- To reinforce Club rules where necessary.
- To carry out basic maintenance and health and safety checks.
- As you will be working with members of the public this role is subject to a DBS check which we will carry out.
What you'll bring
We’re looking for someone who’s:
- Qualified with a current NPLQ or RLSS
- Responsible, alert, and confident under pressure
- Friendly and approachable, with great communication skills
- A true team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment
- Proud to create a safe, positive experience for every member
Most importantly, be yourself. Bring your personality, positivity, and passion for people — that’s what makes our clubs special.
What You’ll Get
- Free membership for you and a loved one plus 2 discounted memberships for family members or friends after passing probation.
- 28 days holiday including public/bank holidays (pro-rata for part-time employees). Annual leave increasing with length of service up to 5 additional days (pro-rata for part-time employees).
- Workplace Pension Scheme.
- Death in Service benefit.
- Discount on retail and café products.
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
