Beach Warden – 1 Post
£11.59 per hour
Post 1: Up to 35 hours per week – immediate to 15th September 2024 (variable hours contract)
We have a seasonal vacancy for outgoing individuals who enjoy walking, have a calm manner and are a people person. Your role within the team will be a very important one, as you will be representing the Town Council when out and about on patrols, and carrying out your duties.
Whether you are on the beach, seafront, around the Town or in the Swanage Information Centre, you will be required to share local knowledge and provide advice to the general public in a bright and cheerful manner.
Additionally, you will encourage the adherence of our beach regulations, and also promote the safe use of the seafront area so that an enjoyable time can be had by everyone.
Not only will you be the friendly face of the town, you will be joining a team who take great pride in their work and want nothing but the best for the Town and all the Swanage ‘folk’. There is much walking involved within this role (in all weathers), plus a significant amount of manual handling and the removal of unwanted substances. We maintain a very high standard of service and hospitality, therefore, regular daily patrols along the beach and seafront are essential, as issues that are identified will most often require immediate attention.
As a Council, we are extremely proud of ourselves, as we receive many compliments regarding the cleanliness in and around the town and seafront area. A ‘can do’ attitude is essential, because as well as undertaking basic maintenance jobs, there will be regular cleaning tasks to perform, to keep specific areas and street furniture all spick and span! You must be prepared to participate in ad-hoc duties, which may include assisting and supporting our Operations team and also Dorset Council waste collection team.
A polite manner with experience in a customer facing role would be an advantage, but really we want people who have a passion for Swanage and can rise to meet the many challenges that make this an interesting and important role.
Please note this is based on a variable hour’s contract and on days when the weather is poor you may not be required. The role will be required to work weekends and bank holidays.
We are a highly successful team working on what we feel is the most amazing town and beach in the UK. While we provide our award-winning customer service, we also have lots of fun along the way.
