Your Responsibilities

As a lifeguard with us, you will work at one of the municipality's outdoor swimming areas, and your main tasks are to provide service and create a welcoming environment and safe experience in and around our pools.

This means that you will monitor safety in and around the bathing area by informing about bathing rules and maintaining order. Your duties also include assisting those in distress and, if necessary, performing life-saving measures while waiting for emergency services. Light cleaning and maintenance of facilities and toilets are also part of the job. Working hours are scheduled for day and evening shifts, as well as every other weekend.

To be considered for employment as a lifeguard, you need to complete a swimming and diving test, regardless of previous experience. The test is conducted at the beginning of the selection process. If you pass the test, you will proceed to an interview.

We are looking for someone who has completed or is currently pursuing a high school education. You should be able to swim backstroke and breaststroke, perform towing, and dive down to 3.80 m in a deep pool. Good knowledge of the Swedish language and basic knowledge of English are also required for the position. If you have knowledge of additional languages, we consider it an asset.

It is desirable if you have work experience in service, security, or healthcare. We also prefer that you have training in first aid and CPR, or training according to the Swedish Lifesaving Society's pool lifeguard program. A driver's license (B) is desirable as you may need to travel to different swimming areas for work.

To succeed in the role of lifeguard, it is important that you enjoy working with others and contribute to a good collaboration within the team. You are service-oriented and greet our guests in a professional, safe, and friendly manner.
