POSITION SUMMARY:

The lifeguard is also responsible for maintaining the pool area during pools hours. This includes keeping the area free of debris and emptying the garbage, as needed. Duties include monitoring pool chemicals and ensuring the environment is safe for swimming.
Some lifting may be required when working with young students or students with special needs, however, TLC embraces and celebrates a spirit of inclusion and diversity, and reasonable accommodations and modifications will be made whenever possible. The diversity of our student population may require that some assignments have a heavier physical responsibility due to safety. If the opening for which you are applying will require more strenuous physical activity, the unique needs will be discussed at the time of interview.
