Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino announced that lifeguard employment opportunities are available at Town of Oyster Bay beaches, including north shore ‘calm water’ beaches and at TOBAY Ocean Beach. Job opportunities begin at a competitive starting salary of up to $18 per hour for all lifeguards.

“From having the opportunity to work at one of our beautiful Town beaches and building confidence, self-esteem, and leadership skills, to making new friends and helping others, working as a lifeguard is one of the best summer jobs around,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Our lifeguards provide an invaluable service in protecting our residents and have helped save countless lives in both pool and ocean waters.”

Residents aged 16 and over with a Nassau County Grade II certification can seek employment at one of the Town’s ‘calm water’ beaches on the north shore, including Theodore Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay, Centre Island Beach in Bayville, Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing, and Ransom and Stehli Beaches in Bayville. Residents 17 and older with a Nassau County Grade III certification can seek employment at TOBAY Beach, as an ocean lifeguard. Applicants must also possess a current CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer certification. Lifeguards also have many future opportunities for advancement.

Town lifeguards are hired for the summer season, which runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day. For all inquiries about lifeguard employment, please call 516-797-4131 or email aquatics@oysterbay-ny.gov.
