Culture and Leisure Administration

The Culture and Leisure Administration plays a central role in creating a vibrant, inclusive, and inspiring municipality for all residents. Here, we work with everything from cultural schools, libraries, and museums to events, art halls, and support for associations. We are also responsible for cultural-historical environments as well as the municipality's baths, sports, and outdoor activities.

Together, we create meaningful experiences, meeting places, and opportunities for people of all ages – every day.

About Parkbadet

Parkbadet is Sandviken's bathing and health facility and an important meeting place for swimming, training, swimming lessons, school swims, and club activities. Currently, operations are conducted in an adapted form because parts of the facility are closed. This means that the adventure pool, relaxation area, and café are not currently in operation.

However, even if parts of the facility are closed, our mission is just as important. Every day, we meet children learning to swim, school classes, associations, joggers, and guests who need to feel safe, welcome, and seen.

We are now looking for two lifeguards who want to make a difference. With us, you are an important part of the whole and contribute to service, cleanliness, safety, and pool surveillance.

We offer a varied and meaningful job where you get to create safety, service, and swimming joy for our visitors. You become part of a team where we work closely together and help each other in daily life.

Job Responsibilities

As a lifeguard at Parkbadet, you work in daily operations and meet our guests in many different situations. The tasks are varied and may involve:

• being responsible for pool surveillance and safety in the swimming hall
• performing life-saving interventions if necessary
• meeting and assisting guests in the reception
• providing service, information, and guidance to our visitors
• working with cleaning, facility maintenance, and order to ensure the facility is clean, safe, and welcoming
• participating in swimming lessons, school swims, and other activities related to the pool
• working preventively with safety, routines, and supervision
• contributing to the maintenance of the pool facility and practical tasks in daily operations
• collaborating with colleagues to ensure the operation runs smoothly

Cleaning and facility maintenance are a natural and important part of the assignment, as clean and well-maintained premises are crucial for both safety, well-being, and the guests' experience.

Working hours are scheduled and may involve work during the day, evenings, and weekends.

Qualifications

For the position, you must:

• be at least 18 years old
• have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• have good ability to meet people in a professional and respectful manner
• be able to work scheduled hours, including evenings and weekends
• have good teamwork skills and contribute to a good work environment
• be able to take responsibility and see what needs to be done in daily life
• pass Parkbadet's swimming and lifesaving test

The swimming and lifesaving test consists of:

• 500 meters breaststroke and 200 meters backstroke
• floating for 4 minutes
• deep diving at a depth of 3.8 meters, twice from the surface and twice from the edge

It is meritorious if you have education or experience as a lifeguard, swimming instructor, pool surveillance, lifesaving, reception, service, work with children and young people, CPR/first aid, or similar.

Do you lack some parts but feel the role suits you? For the right person, there is an opportunity to receive education and introduction to grow into the assignment. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

As a person, you enjoy meeting people and understand that good treatment can make a big difference. You are responsible, service-oriented, and thrive with varied tasks. You can work both independently and together with others.

We believe you are a person who wants to contribute, not just to the tasks but also to the atmosphere in the building. You see the guests, help your colleagues, and understand that small things in daily life often make a big difference for the whole.
