Lifeguard

The Wave is a slice of the ocean inland, where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities can experience the joy of blue health and its many benefits. Our 180m long lake is powered by Wavegarden. This ground-breaking technology can generate up to 1,000 quality waves per hour, ranging from 50cm (1.7ft) to almost 2m (6.5ft) in height. We can produce a new wave every 8-10 seconds. 

As a lifeguard at The Wave, you will see hundreds of guests each day, from toddlers splashing around in play in the bay, to pros surfing and bodyboarding on the expert wave setting.

• Are vigilant at all times and able to confidently challenge situations whilst remaining calm. This could include identifying and addressing any surfers failing to follow the correct rules and safety procedures
• Work closely with our surf coaches to provide emergency medical aid and water response when needed

This is a customer facing role and you will appreciate the importance of providing a friendly, supportive service. You’ll play a key role with in a large, surf operations team and will be expected to assist in other areas of the department when required, such as the surf desk.
