Tenterden Leisure Centre provides an exciting range of activities for residents and visitors alike, including a leisure pool, a fitness suite, exercise studios, and a sports hall. The centre also boasts a lovely café providing a focal point for the community.
If you like talking to people, this is definitely the role for you. We understand that engaging with customers and colleagues can come with experience. We will provide all the training needed to be a successful Lifeguard, and we believe that employing people from a mix of employment backgrounds can benefit our team.
In the role of Lifeguard, you will ensure the best levels of service are achieved for our customers by offering friendly, clean, and safe facilities.
You will need to be able to swim competently. If you need extra coaching to reach the level needed to become a lifeguard, our excellent swim teachers will support you to improve.
If you want to progress further, we will support this through additional training, both formal and on-the-job. However, we also appreciate that not everyone wants to ‘move up the ladder,’ and that’s absolutely fine with us. What is really important is that you are happy in your work.
At Freedom Leisure, we welcome our diverse local community to our centres every day and we want to reflect that same multicultural mix inside our business too. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves, have the same opportunities, and thrive together. Because at Freedom Leisure, You Matter!
Together, we work to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, no matter their age, race, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. We aim to be the employer of choice within our industry and strive for this every day.
