Join our Seafront Team
Make every day a beach day across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
Enjoy meeting people, being outdoors and staying active? Become part of our supportive team and experience a vibrant summer atmosphere on the coast.
On our award‑winning seafront, you’ll help create brilliant memories for millions of visitors while working with a friendly, supportive team that’s proud of our place and the difference we make.
Why work on our seafront
A place that’s hard to beat - fifteen miles of beautiful coastline, bustling promenades, and golden beaches that regularly feature in Travellers’ Choice awards. You’ll be right at the heart of it, helping to keep our seafront welcoming, safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Be the difference this summer - a team you’ll be proud to join. From the first hello to the last sweep of the promenade, our Seafront Team is known for being positive, professional and people‑centred. Enjoy a role with real impact and real variety.
Roles we’re hiring for
We recruit to a range of seasonal and fixed‑term roles each year. Typical opportunities include:
- General Seafront Assistants – all‑round customer service and on‑the‑ground support across our seafront sites
- Rangers – visible presence on the prom, offering guidance and helping everyone enjoy the beach safely
- Resort Information Team – friendly faces who give visitors the right info, right when they need it
- Catering Assistants & Kitchen Team – great service and great food in our seafront venues
You don’t need years of experience. If you bring enthusiasm, reliability, good communication and people skills, we’ll support you in your seafront role.
Be the difference this summer: work flexible shifts by the beach, earn extra cash and build skills that matter.
Real impact, real variety - no two shifts are the same. You might start with a sunrise check, support a busy café at lunchtime, help with wayfinding in the afternoon, and finish with a tidy‑down before a coastal event kicks off.
What you’ll be doing
This will vary on what role you apply for but in all roles you will be:
- Welcoming visitors with a smile, accurate information, and practical help
- Keeping spaces safe and tidy
- Supporting events and peak‑season operations along the promenade
- Being the calm in the rush—staying helpful, fair and respectful, even when it’s busy
What you’ll bring
- A genuine customer‑first mindset and great communication skills
- Team spirit—you’re dependable and enjoy working with others
- Situational awareness and confidence to follow safety procedures
- Flexibility to work a mix of weekdays/weekends/Bank Holidays and some early or later shifts during peak periods
Pay, benefits and support
Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) with employer contributions
- Access to wellbeing support, staff networks and learning resources
- Holiday pay and fair, transparent terms and conditions
- Enhanced benefits and discounts package
- Staff Network Groups
- Opportunities to return each season and build your skills and experience
We’re an ambitious, forward-thinking council and are committed to creating a great place to work and develop.
Be the difference with an exciting seafront role. You’ll be supported in a great team environment to do your best and feel your best.
