Your job? To make the fun and keep it coming! As a part-time Recreation Lifeguard at Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort, you are the person our guests turn to when they want to try water sports, have a campfire, do arts and crafts, create a “memory” pillow, play rainy-day games or just chill by the pool with a cool drink in hand. Of course, safety, lifesaving and first-responder duties are paramount, but you will also read stories to little ones, get refreshments for the big ones, help with towel and equipment rentals, and so much more. The key to success in this job is having an authentically friendly demeanor, an unshakably positive attitude and the sincere desire to help and protect others.
