Are you a skilled swimmer and sports enthusiast? Your new career may be just a splash away! If you're considering lifeguarding, our comprehensive training programs can open doors to management roles, NVQ apprenticeships and skill development opportunities.
Our lifeguards play a crucial role in ensuring member safety and well-being. We're looking for individuals to supervise pool and poolside activities who are available on a rota basis, including some evenings and weekends.
NPLQ holders receive priority for shortlisting. Non-NPLQ candidates may still be considered. Wiltshire Council may fund your NPLQ course, which you must complete within 3 months of starting, subject to swim test and course availability.
If you enjoy working with people, you'll thrive in the dynamic and enjoyable leisure service industry. Whether you're pursuing a leisure career or saving for a gap year, we can support your chosen path. Join our team today and showcase your strong swimming abilities, excellent customer service, and enthusiasm!

Wiltshire Council does not accept unsolicited CVs or candidate details from recruitment agencies that are not appointed under a current, valid contract or approved supplier arrangement (including through our neutral vendor, Comensura).
Submission of unsolicited CVs or candidate details to the Council, whether directly or to individual employees, will not be considered as an introduction and will not create any obligation on the Council to pay any fees.

Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.
