Summary

A professional, reliable and safety-focused Leisure Attendant with almost four years of lifeguarding experience, supported by Pool Lifeguard, First Aid and Pool Plant qualifications. I also have experience working as a caretaker in a primary school, where I was responsible for maintaining swimming pool plant room operations, monitoring chemical and water levels, carrying out routine checks and ensuring facilities were maintained to a high standard. Alongside my leisure and facilities experience, I have developed strong customer service and communication skills through working in a busy café environment. I am confident working independently and as part of a team, remain calm and professional under pressure, and take pride in maintaining safe, clean and welcoming facilities. I am keen to bring my strong safety awareness, technical knowledge and customer-focused approach to the leisure team at Deansgate Hotel.
