The Brick Township Recreation Department is now accepting applications for summer employment for lifeguards, camp counselors and beach badge checkers.

Applications are also being accepted for lifeguards and badge checkers at Brick Township’s three ocean beaches.  Badge checkers must be 16 years of age or older.  Lifeguards must be 16 or older and certified in CPR, First Aid, AED and oxygen. They must also pass health physical and be able to complete a 500 meter swim in under 10 minutes and a one mile run in required time (7 minutes 30 seconds for males, 8 minutes 30 seconds for females). 

All Recreation department summer staff 18 years of age or older must also be fingerprinted and pass a criminal history background check.  In all cases, Brick Township residents are preferred.
