Work history

Lifeguard

Lifeguard at Vauxhall Holiday Park
Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
10.2023 - 09.2024
  • Working part-time at Vauxhall Holiday Park and Breydon Holiday Park, as a lifeguard has been very challenging, especially during the peak summer season.
  • My job involved a variety of tasks such as supervising and cleaning the pool, lead booked activities for the children and families, serve people at the reception and perform First Aid on anyone who needed it.
  • I developed excellent customer service by taking care of any requests and issues at reception.
  • I improved my entertainment skills by leading activities for kids
  • The job also requires a lot of responsibility and being able to work rationally and calmly under pressure, as you are responsible for everyone’s safety at the pool.

Affiliations

  • In my free time, I like to sew and crotchet my own clothes and I really enjoy embellishments and beading.
  • I have been learning Spanish since I was in primary school and continue learning it on Duolingo to not forget. I additionally started learning Italian, to boost my communication skills when I go abroad and want to connect with new people and find work placement abroad.
