Lifeguard - Basingstoke & Deane Community Leisure Trust, Basingstoke

Job Title: Lifeguard

Location: Basingstoke Aquadrome

Working Hours/Pattern: 37 hours, between Monday to Sunday, mixture of earlies (5am to 2pm) and lates (2pm to 10pm)

Salary: Up to 25,601.69 per annum ( 13.27 per hour) + Excellent benefits

At Serco, we're pleased to be recruiting on behalf of Basingstoke and Deane Leisure Trust

Basingstoke and Deane Leisure Trust encourage active, healthy lifestyles across the local community. Providing affordable access to a wide range of sports and leisure facilities in a safe, clean, friendly and welcoming space, their goal is to support healthier and happier lives for everyone. Delivering these services relies on an enthusiastic, customer-focused team, and they're now looking for a full time Lifeguard to join their team and help make a positive difference every day.

As a Lifeguard you'll be an important part of life here at the centre as you ensure that everyone can use the pool in safety and that they have access to everything they need to enjoy their visit.

You will be providing customer care to people of all ages, supervising activities, maintaining high standards of cleanliness in the pool area, and ensuring the safe handling and set up of pool equipment. And of course, when needed - you'll help to save lives.

Without you there can't be any pool activity. But you won't be working alone. Our leisure centre has a close knit and supportive team, all working towards providing an inclusive leisure hub for the entire community.

What you'll need to do the role

You'll need to have excellent customer service skills as you'll be interacting heavily with our customers. So, whether you've earned that experience in a leisure or another customer facing environment, you'll be a people person who is happy dealing with people of all ages and backgrounds.

As a lifeguard you'll naturally need to be safety conscious, vigilant, and able to deal with pressurised situations. Lastly, you'll need to have strong swimming skills and it's essential that you hold a National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (Royal Life Saving Society).

Due to this being a full-time role, we can only consider candidates that are 18+

Why Join us


A place you can make an impact: Swimming pools are the beating hearts of our leisure centres and without lifeguards we can't operate. You ensure that our customers can enjoy their activity in safety and when needed you save lives.

A place you can count on: Our lifeguards are integral to the running of our centres, so as well progressing into senior lifeguard positions you can move into other centre management roles in one of our 55 facilities.

A place for you: Our centres are close-knit and friendly, and we rely on each other for support. As well as the backing of the team you'll also find all the resources you need for career progression through Serco Learning.

  • Holidays: 21 days pro rata plus bank holidays
  • Pension: Up to 6% contributory pension scheme
  • Training and development: Over 1,100 internal courses available, funding for qualifications and apprenticeships (including L3 Team Leader and L5 Operations Manager apprenticeships), mentoring opportunities, and a focus on internal progression
