Lifeguard & Retail — Being present.
Some jobs place attention at the center of every shift. Sometimes that means watching an entire space; sometimes, understanding what the person in front of you needs. Two different settings, each with its own responsibilities and preparation.
Lifeguard
Water surveillance, prevention and response according to the role’s training. Swimming skills and specific training are required; applicable assessments and certification are confirmed with the sponsor and employer.
Retail
Listening, guiding customers and supporting store operations. English communication, attention to detail and readiness to learn the store’s procedures.
We explore your interest; you are not selecting a vacancy. Duties, required preparation and availability are confirmed for each opportunity.
