British lifeguard looking for job advise in Perth near joondalup

[BrandonAustin]

I'm 16 years old and a fully qualified lifeguard at my local leisure centre.

The qualification I have is called the National Pool lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) from the RLSS UK ( Royal life saving society uk. With this I am qualified for lifeguarding and supervision up to depths of 3 meters , spinal board , CPR , First aid and a defibrillator.

 

 

If anyone can help answer these questions it would be much appreciated.

 

 

Does this qualification mean anything in Perth?

Do you have leisure centres like ours?

Would I be able to get a job as a lifeguard in perth with this qualification ?

How much do lifeguards get paid per hour ?

Would I be able to apply when we move to oz if my parents go on a 457 visa or student visa ?

Thank you,

Brandon

The trouble you are likely to have, should you move as part of your parents visa, is that lifeguards are plentiful here... many kids have grown up in the nippers (surf life saving) so have all the quals you do... as well as surf training.

I better learn how to surf then haha , thanks

Joining a surf rescue club would certainly give you a way to make lots of new friends too. Although voluntary, serving your community doing something like surf rescue patrols, would be well regarded on your resume. You'd get some extra quals too, as surf life guarding has different requirements.

Yeah will do thanks for the advise
