Riverside Leisure Centre is Chelmsford City Council’s flagship leisure facility, offering a variety of sporting activities where there is something for everyone. Every member of staff plays their role, working within a fast-paced environment. If you are interested in working in a leisure environment and are passionate about delivering the best customer service, then we have the job for you.

We’re looking for committed, customer focused individuals to join our vibrant team in the pools complex. If you’re a confident communicator with excellent people skills and hold the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification, we’d love to hear from you.

Lifeguards play a key part in keeping our swimmers safe, supporting the smooth running of the Centre, and help to maintain a clean, welcoming environment throughout the pools complex. This is a great opportunity to make a real difference to our community while working as part of a supportive team.

We have the opportunity for two positions to be offered, one on a full time basis, working 37 hours per week and one on a part time bases working 35 hours per week. These will be worked on a shift basis to cover the opening hours of the centre, from 5.15am to 11pm, including weekends and bank holidays, so flexibility is a must.
