Water Safety Officer careers

A Water Safety Officer manages safety protocols and risk assessments for aquatic environments. Working for local councils or education departments, you will focus on drowning prevention, hazard identification, and safety regulation enforcement. You’ll develop safety plans and ensure water-based programmes comply with national standards.

These officers play a vital role in community protection. You must be vigilant, decisive, and calm during emergencies. You’ll also liaise with facility managers and emergency services to ensure the public enjoys the water safely.
