## Description

We are seeking a Recreation Assistant to join our team at Park Road Leisure Centre & Lido in London. As a Wet Side Lifeguard, you will play a vital role in ensuring the safety, enjoyment and wellbeing of customers using our swimming facilities.

You will supervise pool activities, respond to incidents, administer first aid when required, and provide a visible, professional presence around the leisure centre. In addition to lifeguarding duties, you will help prepare facilities for activities, carry out cleaning and maintenance checks, support customers with enquiries, and contribute to creating a welcoming environment for all visitors.

A current National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) or equivalent is essential for this role.

You will join a friendly and supportive team dedicated to delivering high-quality leisure services to the local community. Working alongside Duty Managers, Shift Supervisors and fellow Recreation Assistants, you will help ensure the centre operates safely, efficiently and to the highest standards of customer service.

The team takes pride in creating an inclusive environment where residents of all ages and abilities can enjoy swimming, fitness and recreational activities.

As a Recreation Assistant, you are a confident and approachable individual with excellent customer service skills and a genuine commitment to health, safety and community wellbeing. You enjoy working with people, communicating clearly, and remaining calm under pressure. You are able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, and are happy to take a hands-on approach to maintaining high standards across the facility.

You'll be reliable, professional, and flexible enough to work evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Most importantly, you'll be passionate about providing a safe, welcoming and enjoyable experience for every customer who visits the centre.

At Haringey Council we are committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce so welcome applications from all ethnicities and communities so that we continue to make a difference to our residents and community.

Our benefits package includes a leave entitlement of up to 31 days + bank holidays, potential hybrid working opportunities, health and wellbeing support, a generous local government pension scheme and a range of discount schemes across leisure and culture that provide both financial and money-saving discounts.
