Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Waterpark, one of Dubai’s most recognised beachfront properties on the Jumeirah coastline, is hiring a Lifeguard to join its pool, beach, and waterpark safety team. This is a hands-on operational role for someone who takes water safety seriously, stays calm under pressure, and enjoys working in a high-energy resort environment where guest experience and safety go hand in hand.
The resort’s waterpark and private beach draw a constant mix of hotel guests, day-pass visitors, and families throughout the year, which means the lifeguard team is central to how safely and smoothly the property runs. If you hold a current lifeguard certification and want to work at one of Dubai’s flagship beach resorts, this role is worth a close look.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Continuously monitor swimming pools, waterpark attractions, and designated beach swimming areas for signs of distress or unsafe behaviour
- Enforce pool, beach, and waterpark safety rules consistently and professionally with guests of all ages
- Respond immediately to water-related emergencies, performing rescues, first aid, and CPR/AED procedures as required
- Maintain assigned watch positions and rotate stations according to the daily deployment schedule
- Check water clarity, depth markers, signage, and safety equipment at the start of every shift and report any hazards
- Assist with crowd control and guest flow during peak hours, especially around waterpark slides and attractions
- Support daily safety briefings and take part in scheduled emergency response drills
- Communicate clearly with the wider recreation, security, and duty manager teams during incidents
- Deliver friendly, attentive guest service while maintaining full situational awareness of the water at all times
- Complete incident reports and shift logs accurately in line with resort standards
What You’ll Need
- Valid lifeguard certification (e.g. NPLQ, RLSS, Ellis & Associates, or equivalent internationally recognised qualification)
- Current CPR/AED and First Aid certification
- Previous lifeguarding experience in a hotel, resort, waterpark, or public pool setting is preferred
- Strong swimming ability and physical fitness to perform rescues and sustained observation duties
- Excellent concentration and the ability to stay alert during long, repetitive watch periods
- Clear communication skills in English; additional languages are an advantage given the resort’s international guest base
- A calm, decisive manner under pressure and a genuine commitment to guest safety
- Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays, as beach and waterpark operations run year-round
