About The Role
Welcome to Splash Waterworld, one of the most vibrant and exhilarating spots on our resort! Here, you’ll find thrilling flumes, high-speed slides, and a variety of swimming zones filled with guests enjoying their day. As a Lifeguard, you’ll be at the heart of the action!

Your primary mission? Ensure that every guest has an unforgettable experience while keeping safety a top priority. This isn’t just a sit-and-watch position; you’ll be actively supervising slides, monitoring the wave pool, and leading poolside activities. You’ll be creating memorable moments and building genuine connections with our guests.

At Butlin’s, every day is unique. Whether you’re welcoming families during school holidays or hosting guests at our adult-only Big Weekenders, you’ll be part of a dynamic team that keeps the fun flowing all year round.

The Details:

  • Full-time role
  • 35 hours per week, across 5 days out of 7
  • Includes evenings and weekends
  • Live-in accommodation available for those relocating

About You

We’re on the lookout for energetic, responsible individuals who thrive in social environments. If you stay calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and work well in a team, we want to hear from you! This role can be busy and physically demanding, so being alert and ready to dive in is essential.

To join our team, you’ll need to:

  • Be a strong and confident swimmer
  • Be aged 18 or over
  • Have excellent awareness and attention to detail
  • Be confident in responding to emergency situations

No NPLQ? No problem! If you have the right attitude and strong swimming skills, we’ll support you in obtaining your National Pool Lifeguard Qualification before you start.

While previous experience in leisure, hospitality, or a waterpark environment is a plus, we’re primarily looking for individuals with the right energy, personality, and passion for guest experience. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Go on, take the plunge!

About Butlin's

Did you know that Billy Butlin was the first person to introduce dodgems to the UK? That’s right—'fun' is in our DNA, and we’ve been delighting guests for nearly 90 years!

As The Home of Entertainment, we go above and beyond to provide our guests with an 'Altogether More Entertaining and Fun Break.' From action-packed family holidays to adult-only Big Weekenders, we bring our three core values to life.
