Are you passionate about providing excellent levels of customer service, and want to work in an environment where you’ll be supported to grow and develop? If this sounds like you, then we have the perfect role for you.
Warwick Sports has an exciting opportunity for a self-motivated and customer-orientated individual to join our team as a Lifeguard.
Working within the state-of-the-art Sports hub facilities, you’ll work alongside a vibrant team of motivated individuals with one aim – to provide first-class customer service, ensuring our customers feel safe and always cared for.
As well as your lifeguarding duties, half of your role will involve support across the sports hub, from cleaning duties to working closely with Front of House teams with various tasks including equipment setup, event support, resolving customer queries, and increasing our membership base by providing accurate information on products and services.
In this role, no two days will be the same. You’ll also have the chance to rotate between our different venues supporting the front of house teams, which includes the Sports Hub, Games Hall, Cryfield Pavilion, and Tennis Centre, working within different areas of each and supporting duties as directed by Duty Managers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll also be responsible for ensuring all customers that use the facilities, including staff members, abide by University standards and regulations.
We continue to actively build an environment where every individual can fulfil their potential and be proud ambassadors for Warwick University, our colleagues, and our customers.
You need to be flexible to be able to work shifts with early and late start and finish times, including weekends and bank holidays.
About You
If you’re someone with a can-do attitude and would relish the opportunity to work within a highly motivated team who aspire to exceed customers’ expectations every day, whilst helping to improve their physical and mental wellbeing to enable a more active lifestyle, then we want to hear from you!
