Job Introduction
If you are passionate about the local environment, the community benefits it provides and the people it serves, then an exciting opportunity exists for you with BCP Council Seafront Operations. We are looking for self-motivated and experienced people to join our Seafront Team.
KidZone positions are now open to work on Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Seafront, between July and September 2025.
As a KidZone Assistant you will need to be able to work as part of a team and independently as required using your own initiative. You will work proactively with all members of the public and the wider team, including external agencies such as the RNLI. Enthusiasm and commitment to providing a safe, clean and inclusive seafront is essential. To support this, the position involves engaging with the public to highlight our missing persons scheme and coordinate searches on the seafront to reunite missing persons with their families and friends.
As no two days are the same, the dynamic nature of the role means a flexible approach is crucial to ensure the appropriate level of support is given to all aspects of Seafront Operations.
A disposition to promote high standards of customer care and communication skills is essential for this post. You will be an integral member of the Seafront Operations Team ensuring Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is a great place to live, work and visit.
Successful applicants will work in shifts covering 7 days per week including Bank Holidays and weekends. The applicant will also be expected to work outdoors for the majority of each shift in order to carry out their duties.
About BCP Council

We can offer career defining roles to transform and improve services. By working with us, you can help deliver a vision of a thriving, word-class, prosperous and inclusive place for generations to come.
Our Benefits
We offer an excellent benefits package to colleagues. Find out more on our website.
As a result of the creation of BCP Council in 2019, we are working on simplifying our terms and conditions of service and will be creating a single pay structure which is to be applicable for all employees. It is important to us that we offer benefits that our colleagues value as part of their total employment package and we are reviewing these to make sure we have it right. We have been in a process of collective bargaining since 2019 and have positively worked forward to reach an agreed position with the unions for the new contractual offer. This has taken longer than we hoped and therefore we are having to consider all alternative avenues available to enable us to remove inequality in the organisation as a result of bringing together 3 councils.
We are in the process of establishing a timescale for implementation, and all colleagues joining us will be included in these changes. We want to reassure everyone that whichever route is taken to reach the new terms and conditions, we can honour continuous service and there will not be any job reduction as a result of the implementation of Pay and Reward. If you have any questions at all about this process, please feel free to raise this with the hiring manager.
