About The Role
Our Splash Waterworld is one of the busiest and most exciting places on resort, packed with thrilling flumes, high-speed slides, various swimming zones, and guests having fun. As a Lifeguard, you’ll be right in the middle of it all. You’ll be making sure guests are having an amazing time while keeping everyone safe in and around the pool. This isn’t just a sit-and-stare role. Whether you’re supervising the slides, keeping an eye on the wave pool, or running poolside activities, you’ll be creating memorable moments for our guests and building real connections with the people around you. At Butlin’s, no two days look the same. Whether you're welcoming families during the school holidays or guests on our adult-only Big Weekenders, you'll be part of one of the busiest teams on resort, helping to keep the fun flowing all year round.
