Job Details

GLL are looking for part time Swimming Teachers (up to 20 hours a week, minimum 10 hours) to join the team in West Oxfordshire, to work between 4pm and 7pm on at least 2 days during the week and on a Saturday morning. We're now the UK's largest leisure social enterprise and set for even greater success. So, if you have the qualifications and training needed to teach people of all ages and abilities how to swim, join us as a Swimming Teacher and play a key role in the next step of our journey. Bringing ambition to match ours, this is your chance to deliver safe, consistent swimming lessons that give people real confidence in the water and an invaluable life skill.

As an experienced Swimming Teacher, you'll thrive on supporting people to achieve their potential. Taking a pupil's nature and needs into account, you'll draw on your knowledge of practices, progression and teachings points - and apply it in the most effective way. Naturally, there'll be some administration involved plus an expectation to develop effective interaction and relationship working with school teachers, but rest assured that almost all of your time will be spent doing what you do best - teaching people to become stronger swimmers, whether in a group or one-to-one. Plus you'll also have the opportunity to work as a swim teacher on school swimming projects.

We're looking for Swimming Teachers with a minimum Level 2 certificate, knowledge of the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme for teaching swimming skills, techniques and awards. Knowledge of health, safety and other relevant legislation will be vital too, as will an understanding of Child Protection Policy. Plus of course, you'll need to be approachable, with the friendly, patient nature needed to build people's trust, motivate pupils and encourage with praise.

In return, we offer a range of benefits that you'd expect from the UK's largest leisure provider:

  • Pension schemes
  • Ride to work scheme
  • Discounted membership at our leisure centres
  • The opportunity to join the GLL Society and have a say in how we're run plus associated social events
  • Career pathways
  • Ongoing training and development to help you to be the best

If you have the passion and skills for this role, apply now.

If you're not yet qualified to work as a Swimming Teacher, why not sign up to one of the STA (Swimming Teachers Association) courses with GLL College? Visit https://www.gllcollege.co.uk/swimmingteachers and book onto a course today.

The welfare and safety of the children in our care is of the utmost importance to us at GLL. We follow safer recruitment procedures to ensure that our staff are checked and appropriate to work with children and young people. Therefore we'll require you to complete an enhance DBS check before you will be allowed to start work.

All pay rates are subject to skills, experience, qualifications and location.

To be shortlisted for the role, internal applicants will need to demonstrate their commitment to GLL by becoming a Society member where eligible.
