Swimming Instructor - Birmingham

We are Places Leisure, part of the Places for People Group; we are placemakers; our work impacts on the lives of people across the U.K. – providing homes to live in, communities to retire to, spaces to stay active, supported homes for independent living, and student accommodation. Our places work when they work for everyone.

How do we do all this? By surrounding ourselves with active people, life changing people and customer focused people. Our people live and breathe our SPIRIT values; we are the place for spirited people.

So, we want you to join us and the 12,000 other colleagues on our journey; colleagues who have helped us create places, maintain 209,000 homes, manage £4.5 billion of assets, deliver £87.9m in social value and teach 80,000 children to swim each week.

More about your role

We are committed to creating active places and healthy people. Helping people of all ages learn to swim or become stronger, faster or more confident swimmers is central to this aim. Your exciting new role as a Swimming Teacher will consist of working with our customers, (sometimes on a one to one level) whilst motivating and instructing them in their lessons. These lessons will be conducted ensuring they are operated to the legal standards at all times, whilst also creating a fun, inclusive and safe environment. A very important factor of this role will be to use your personality when engaging with our customers whilst also offering them your knowledge and expertise, with regards to any queries they may have.
