Sea Colony Resort Bethany Beach

Protect Paradise: Become a Security Officer at Sea Colony Resort

Imagine starting your shift with the sound of Atlantic waves, the smell of salt in the air, and a half-mile of private beach stretching in front of you. That’s an ordinary day at Sea Colony Resort in Bethany Beach, Delaware – one of the most beloved oceanfront communities on the East Coast, and your workplace this Work & Travel USA season.

We’re looking for responsible, friendly and alert university students to join our Security team from summer through fall, earning $16.00 per hour for 40 guaranteed hours a week.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Security Officer, you are the calm, confident presence that keeps our resort community safe and welcoming. Your daily responsibilities will include:

• Patrolling the resort grounds, beach access points, pools, tennis courts and parking areas on foot, by bike or by vehicle
• Monitoring entrances and verifying guest, owner and visitor credentials
• Greeting guests, giving directions and answering questions – you’re often the first friendly face people meet
• Responding to noise complaints, lost-and-found requests and minor incidents in a professional manner
• Reporting safety hazards, maintenance issues and rule violations to supervisors
• Writing clear, accurate incident and shift reports
• Assisting with emergency procedures and supporting local first responders when needed

Why Bethany Beach?

Bethany Beach is known as one of the “Quiet Resorts” – a safe, family-friendly seaside town with clean sandy beaches, a charming wooden boardwalk, ice-cream shops, surf schools and stunning sunsets over the Delaware bays. You’ll be within easy reach of Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City (Maryland) and just a few hours from Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City for weekend adventures.

With hundreds of international students working in the area every summer, you’ll instantly become part of a huge, multicultural community of young people who work hard, hit the beach after shift, and build friendships that last long after the season ends.

What You’ll Get

• $16.00 per hour – a strong, stable rate with no tipping required
• 40 hours per week, with the possibility of additional hours during peak season
• A long season from summer to fall – more weeks means more earnings and more travel money
• Uniform provided and full on-the-job training
• Real professional experience in security, safety and customer service for your CV
• Daily English practice with American guests and colleagues
• Living and working steps away from the ocean

What We’re Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 eligible for the Work & Travel USA (J-1) program
• Good conversational English – you’ll interact with guests constantly
• A mature, reliable and level-headed personality; good judgement under pressure
• Physical ability to walk, stand and patrol for extended periods, indoors and outdoors in various weather
• Flexibility to work evenings, nights, weekends and holidays on a rotating schedule
• Neat, professional appearance and a positive, service-minded attitude
• No experience required – just responsibility and a willingness to learn
