About The Position

Join a Professional Rescue Team. Not everyone is built for this work. At The St. James Department of Safety & Rescue, we don't just certify lifeguards—we develop professional rescuers. Our mission extends well beyond the pool. From competitive swimming and our indoor water park to contracted waterfronts, open water triathlons, and special events throughout the year, our team protects thousands of guests across some of the region's most dynamic aquatic environments. You'll train alongside experienced lifeguards, EMTs, and Safety Officers who remember what it was like to be new and are committed to helping the next generation succeed. You'll be challenged, supported, and surrounded by teammates who expect the best from one another because that's what this work demands. If you're looking for more than just a part-time job—if you're looking for a team that will challenge you, invest in your growth, and have your back when it matters most—you'll find it here. Be Part of Something Greater.
