About This Opportunity

The City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources aquatics program hires lifeguards for four year-round and four seasonal pools.

Certified lifeguards apply through GovernmentJobs.com listings; applicants who are not yet certified may qualify for the City’s S.A.V.E. (Seasonal Aquatic Vocational Education) training pathway described on the same page, including paid work-hour expectations after training.
