Job Description
About Us
Swim Safety is the UK’s leading event water safety management & consultancy company servicing the events industry; working across a range of mass participation & corporate sporting events. We specialise in recruiting, developing and managing local water safety teams and plans for events requiring water safety cover, offering a ‘one-stop ’water safety service for event organisers. Over the season we work with clients such as Ironman, Tough Mudder, London Triathlon and Human Race. It’s not all about Sporting events though, whilst event water safety cover makes up much of the work we do, we also provide water safety services for PR shoots/stunts, on TV & film sets and for corporate events.
The Role
Swim Safety is looking for a bright & enthusiastic individual to join our 2020 internship programme. You’ll get an insight into the workings of a niche company providing water safety management & consultancy services to a large array of clients.
The programme we offer is an opportunity for an intern to learn and develop across all aspects of our business, broadly these areas cover Events Management, Marketing and Operations. Interns will gain experience working across mass participation sporting events, PR shoots, TV and Film sets and alongside marine engineering and construction-based jobs.
An average week will consist a combination of office-based work, site visits and/or meetings and two or three days on-site at events. Being happy to work most weekends over the season is essential.
The Candidate
You’ll need to be highly motivated, organised and able to work under your own initiative. Adaptability is key as you’ll be providing valuable support to our existing event managers, both administratively but also operationally on-site at events. An interest or experience in outdoor or water sport activities/lifeguarding is a distinct advantage, as is an understanding of triathlon, open water swimming and/or obstacle racing.

• BCU Lifeguards SESA Qualification
