So it's been announced that the swimming pool on the site is closed for the rest of the season because the club haven't been able to find a life guard.

As a gesture of good will the pitch fee has been reduced by £4 per night. I'ts a pity they couldn't have done that at Culloden earlier in the year when the toilet block was out of action

thats a shame...

as David says, hard to believe but many other businesses seem to have signs outside looking for staff of one sort or another...

Havent been for many years, took the Gkids, loved it, but back then i seem to recall the wardens were "Pool Attendants" not life guards and had not had the full training to act as life guards, so you were responsible for your kids safety etc, dont recall there being a specific life guard, and i guess they would probably need 2 to give full cover. See somebody still cant get over us leaving the EUundecided

I wonder? Have you any suggestions how to recruit and retain staff in the environment they have to work in?

Amazed that they can’t find a couple of college/uni kids in that area. Many of them would see it as a ‘cool’ summer job. However, I expect having the relevant qualification is just part of the story?

might not be such a "cool" job, when i spoke to the wardens about how busy the pool might be during July/August they told me it was manic with i think only 30 people allowed in at one time, queues often snaked round the block as it was a 1 in 1 out situation and very difficult to manage, and i dont expect the club are top payers undecided
