Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions.

We work for everyone living here today and in the future. We are now looking for someone who wants to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Through us at the Sports Administration, we create conditions for all Stockholmers to be physically active. We open the city as an arena and offer Stockholmers a wide variety of sports and exercise opportunities for a more active lifestyle. All work at the Sports Administration is based on our three core values: welcoming – trustworthy – forward-thinking.

Your role

As a lifeguard with us, you are the face of our operations and always deliver the highest service to our visitors at the facility. As a lifeguard, you help create conditions for all Stockholmers to become more physically active. Your tasks include keeping the facility clean and safe, working at the reception, providing service to visitors, and leading swimming lessons for children and adults. Cleaning and reception work constitute a large part of all our services.

In this role as a lifeguard, you will also be responsible for swimming school, which includes planning swimming school activities. This means you will recruit swimming instructors, plan and lead meetings with our swimming instructors, maintain contact with parents and teachers, and lead swimming lessons for children and adults in a pedagogical and attentive manner.

Together, we in the workgroup share a common responsibility for maintaining a high standard at our facility. We ensure that the premises are clean and fresh and that all our visitors feel safe while they are in the facility.

Your skills and experience

You have:

• High school education
• Several years of experience leading swimming school
• Good Swedish in speech and writing, and the ability to adapt your communication to the person and situation
• Basic computer skills
• Good swimming skills and can perform a deep dive of 1.8 meters.

Meritorious skills:

• Experience in service and customer relations
• Swimming instructor training
• Previous work with children and youth or individuals with disabilities.

To succeed in this role, we believe you are proactive, inspiring, and have a relationship-building working style. You are driven to find solutions to motivate those who do not exercise to become physically active.

To fit in with us, it is important that you take responsibility for the overall operation of the facility, can easily adapt to changing circumstances, are pedagogically inclined, and work well with others. Of course, you are accommodating and have a good attitude towards both visitors and colleagues.

We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.
