Normandy Beach Jobs

Normandy Beach has more genuine seasonal employment than many neighboring shore communities. The Normandy Beach Improvement Association operates beaches, Bay Beach Camp and community facilities, while Route 35 restaurants and shops, vacation rentals, waterfront homes and the surrounding Toms River–Brick economy create additional opportunities.

Working in and Around Normandy Beach

Normandy Beach is primarily residential, but its organized summer programs and genuine Route 35 commercial corridor make its employment base stronger than that of many nearby private beach communities. The largest concentration of directly identifiable local seasonal work comes from NBIA.

Year-round job seekers should widen their search to both Toms River and Brick Township, plus Ocean County government and the broader Ocean County labor market.

Normandy Beach spans two municipalities. Job seekers should search both Toms River and Brick rather than using “Normandy Beach” alone. Many employers serving the community use a Lavallette, Mantoloking, Toms River or Brick mailing/location label.

Normandy Beach Improvement Association Seasonal Jobs

NBIA runs one of the most structured summer employment programs in the local barrier-island communities. For 2026, the season ran from June 20 through September 7, with Bay Beach Camp running June 22 through August 7. Applications were due in the spring, so prospective workers should watch NBIA early each year for the next hiring cycle.

Lifeguarding & Beach Safety

NBIA employs its own ocean lifeguards, making lifeguarding one of Normandy Beach's most direct and recognizable seasonal jobs.

Ocean Lifeguard
2026 schedule: 9:00 AM–5:00 PM daily · Age 16+ by June 20, 2026

For 2026, candidates had to complete a 500-yard swim in under 10 minutes plus an approximately one-mile run. NBIA held formal preseason tryouts at the Ocean County YMCA.

Lifeguard in Training

NBIA also identifies a Lifeguard in Training pathway, providing younger or developing guards a connection to the community's beach-safety program.

Junior Guards

The Junior Guards program is separate from regular employment. In 2026 it welcomed participants age 13 and older on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the 4th Avenue beach, providing exposure to lifeguarding and beach-safety skills.

Plan ahead for next summer. Lifeguarding requires conditioning before tryouts. Anyone interested in a future Normandy Beach guard position should begin swim/run preparation before NBIA publishes its spring tryout schedule.

Bay Beach Camp Employment

Bay Beach Camp creates a second major category of direct Normandy Beach employment. Counselors work with children throughout the seven-week summer program.

Camp Counselor

  • Communication and teamwork
  • CPR and safety awareness
  • Ability to commit through the camp season
