Duties

We understand a barrier to achieving the required lifeguarding qualifications can often be the cost and the location of the course providers. The Wave wants to be able to make this easier for aspiring lifeguards and are now able to offer these courses in house.

By the end of the 6-day course, you will have achieved your RLSS Beach Lifeguard qualification preparing you to join our team as a Wavemaker for the 

summer (which could extend further into the year). 

As a Wave lifeguard, you will see hundreds of visitors each day, abilities ranging from internationally recognised pro’s to young children who have never surfed before. You will be responsible for:

• Ensuring the safety of all our visitors
• Championing health and safety
• Contributing to the Wave’s proactive safety culture
• Being vigilant at all times and able to confidently challenge situations whilst meaning calm 
• Identifying and addressing any visitors failing to follow the correct rules and safety procedures
• Working closely with our surf coaches to provide emergency medical aid and water response when needed
• Working with the wider Surf Ops team to ensure the department runs smoothly

Please note, your employment at The Wave will start on 30th May 2024.
