At Serco, we're pleased to be recruiting on behalf of Shropshire Community Leisure Trust.
Shropshire Community Leisure Trust encourages 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 Senior Lifeguard to join their team and help make a positive difference every day.
As the Senior Lifeguard, the purpose of the role will be to work within the centre whilst ensuring customer safety and high standards of service and customer care. You will be reporting to the duty manager and in the duty manager’s absence, the successful candidate will be managing the facility and ensure all activities are delivered to a high standard.
- Supervising specific activities
- Maintaining high standards of cleanliness
- Working on the safe handling and set up of equipment
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.
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.
We share your passion for leisure, and we will offer a safe, fun, and professional working environment with excellent development opportunities. You will also receive free gym membership and other various discounts.
About you
We are looking to hear from candidates who have previous experience in a leisure environment, as well as previous experience of pool supervision and you can demonstrate a can-do attitude to get the job done.
As the senior 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) & first aid qualification to be considered for this role.
If you feel you meet the above criteria, please apply today!
