Location: Bellingen, AU
Company: YMCA NSW

• Fun, supportive team focused on helping people and making a real difference to the community
• Chance to dive in, start your Y career & learn new skills with full training provided
• Bellingen location

Do you love people? Does helping others put a smile on your face? Would you love a career where you could change peoples’ lives?

Whether you’re a Beach Lover, Return to Work Parent, Student, Educator, First Jobber, Retiree, or transitioning careers; if you bring energy and passion, there are so many possibilities for you at the Y.

Right now, we’re looking for aspiring Lifeguards to join our friendly Y teams at any of our 16 aquatic facilities across NSW and the ACT.

We’ll train you up and get you qualified so you can make a difference to your community and your career.

Our Y Lifeguards enjoy keeping a close eye on all our precious community members and often get to know our customers by name.

They’re reliable and vigilant and always ready to jump to action if necessary – we have plenty of heroes we’re super proud of.

But it’s not all reacting to emergencies. Our Lifeguards are great at identifying potential risks – and taking steps to reduce those risks.

Y Lifeguards act as positive role-models, so our communities know what safe water behaviour looks like and feel confident they’re in secure hands.

Many of our Lifeguards have other commitments like study or family or are recently retired but enjoy making a difference in people’s lives. The Y NSW encourages and supports this by offering flexible working hours.

What we need from you:

• A passion for customer service
• Friendly and approachable manner
• Love of the water
• Calm and quick thinker under pressure
• The desire to learn and grow

What the Y can offer you:

• Flexible working hours
• A friendly and fun team environment
• Detailed induction with ongoing support and training
• Y Family benefits including free gym membership, uniform, access to salary packaging and more
• Parental leave pay for Permanent Employees with over one years’ service
• Out of School Hours care discounts
• Opportunity for career progression with multiple development pathways available across the Y

We believe in building a diverse, inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people of any age, ability, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation and family or caring responsibilities to apply.

Vaccination Policy

This position involves direct contact with vulnerable persons who have an increased risk of COVID-19, including children. It is a condition of employment that successful applicants provide evidence of compliance with YMCA NSW’s COVID-19 Vaccination Policy prior to commencing.

Commitment to Safeguarding

At the Y, we are committed to empowering all Children and Young People to feel safe and be safe, at the Y, in their families and in their communities. As such, we embed Safeguarding into everything that we do to make sure Children and Young People are kept at the front of our minds in all of our programs and services. We also ensure that all of our candidates are appropriately screened to make sure that the right people are in the right roles to keep our children and young people safe.
