Part time traineeship. Real career start.
If you've just finished school (or didn't quite finish) and want something more than a casual gig, this is it. You work part time at one of our leisure centres and pools. You earn a real income.
Part time paid work from day one
Cert III qualification
No prior experience needed
Mentor support the whole way through
If any of this sounds like you, apply.
You've finished Year 12 (or didn't, that's also fine)
You're aged 17–24
You want a job, not just a course
You like the idea of working in pools and gyms
You're willing to learn on the job
You probably want to know…
Yes. Youth traineeships are designed for school leavers who want a real job + a qualification, instead of jumping straight into uni or working casual.
You're no longer in school. You'll work more hours and earn more, because you're not splitting your week with school anymore.
Absolutely. We work with people from a range of backgrounds. The qualification is what matters, not your ATAR.
A Cert III gives you credit towards related uni courses, and the work experience looks great on any application. You're not locking yourself in.
The questions parents ask us.
Honest answers to the five most common questions from parents and carers, grades, hours, supervision, welfare and how to reach us.
Most school-based traineeships count toward your child's senior certificate (HSC, QCE, SACE, VCE, WACE). We work directly with schools to align release time and ensure study balance. Trainees tell us their grades stay steady — because they're learning time management at the same time.
A standard placement averages 7.5 paid hours a week, spread across 1–2 shifts. Hours are negotiated to fit around school, exams and life. We never block-book around assessment weeks.
Every shift is supervised by senior aquatic staff at a BlueFit-run facility. Trainees shadow and assist for the first weeks, then graduate to independent duties under direct line-of-sight supervision.
Every trainee is assigned a dedicated welfare consultant for the duration of the traineeship. They check in monthly (more often if needed), connect to school counsellors when relevant, and escalate concerns to a parent immediately if safety is involved.
Your child's welfare consultant is your first contact — you'll have their direct number from day one. Beyond that, our head office line is staffed business hours and we reply to email within 24 hours.
