Full-Time Lifeguard – Department of Safety and Rescue
Morning Shift | Mon–Fri | 5:00am – 1:30pm

Looking to elevate your lifeguarding career? The St. James Department of Safety and Rescue is hiring a full-time, morning lifeguard to join our award-winning team.

Why This Role Matters
This isn’t an entry-level post—it’s for lifeguards who want to take their skills to the next level. Morning lifeguards work with little to no direct supervision, maintaining vigilant surveillance of aquatic activities while also serving as first responders to medical emergencies across our 450,000 sq. ft. sports and wellness complex. You’ll gain experience that bridges aquatic safety and emergency response, preparing you for higher-level certifications and leadership opportunities.

What We Offer

• $16.75/hr starting pay with overtime potential
• Bonuses for advanced certifications (CPO, EMR, EMT, etc.)
• Paid training & continuing education
• Uniforms provided
• Leadership opportunities within a professional, mission-driven team

Qualifications

• Experienced lifeguard with valid certification (or ability to requalify)
• Strong swimming ability and confidence in independent decision-making
• Calm under pressure, with proven emergency response skills
• Additional certifications (CPO, EMR, EMT) strongly preferred

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 05:00–13:30
Pay: $16.75/hr + certification bonuses + overtime opportunities

Launch Your Career Here
This role is designed for lifeguards who want more than just a shift—it’s a stepping stone into advanced rescue, emergency medical response, and leadership pathways. With real responsibility, professional development, and exposure to high-level safety operations, you’ll position yourself for future growth in aquatics, EMS, or public safety. If you’re ready to move beyond the basics and build a career in lifesaving, this is where it starts.
