Job Description
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.

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.
