Have you got what it takes to join Hartlepool’s lifeguards?

Hartlepool Borough Council’s recruitment drive is underway for this year’s beach lifeguards, to cover the main beach at Seaton Carew.

A total of 14 lifeguards are required for the school summer holiday period – every day from 19th July to 2nd September.

Lifeguards will be paid £12.80 per hour.

Would-be lifeguards should hold a current National Vocational Beach Lifeguard Qualification.

For those who currently don’t have a relevant qualification, the Council is hosting a Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS) National Vocational Beach Lifeguard course.

The course costs £160 per person and will be held at Mill House Leisure Centre and on Seaton Carew beach over three weekends: April 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st.
