Working Hours: We are very flexible and have hours to suit most candidates.

Salary: £10 - £15 per hour depending on qualification

 We are looking for enthusiastic and passionate swimming teachers to provide safe and fun lessons in our first-class facilities.

Swimming not only also teaches a skill for life it can provide a fulfilling and enjoyable job as you work with people of all ages to help them develop those skills. This could see you working with individuals, therapeutic groups, schools, or in our range of public classes. Either way though you’ll carry out the lesson plans, ensure the safe use and storage of equipment, complete pupil records, and carry out assessment sessions.

This is your chance to train potential athletes, ensure children remain safe and aware of the risks around water and build confidence in all service users. Who knows, it maybe you getting a thank you from the Olympic swimmers of the future!

Ultimately, you’ll ensure your pupils continue to progress, providing them with confidence in the water - and you with an enormous sense of achievement and pride.

We share your passion for leisure and we will offer a safe, fun and professional working environment with excellent development opportunities.  You will also receive free gym membership for you and a family member across our fantastic leisure centres!

About you

You’ll need to have excellent customer service skills as you’ll be interacting heavily with our customers. So, whether you’ve earned that experience in a leisure or another customer facing environment, you’ll be a people person who is happy dealing with people of all ages and backgrounds.

As a teacher you’ll naturally be able to motivate and manage your students, have excellent planning skills, and be a good communicator. 

Lastly, you’ll need to hold an ASA level 2 / STA qualification level 2 or equivalent. It would be an advantage if you hold a qualification in water safety/lifesaving (NPLQ) but this is not essential. 

We offer a variety of working hours to suit most candidates. If you are looking for 1 or 2 mornings or evenings per week, more of a full-time role, or even just an hour on a Saturday or Sunday morning, we can and will accommodate you.

• Free/heavily discounted use of all the facilities at the Centre 

• Excellent Development and Training Opportunities 

• A safe and supportive culture 

• A chance to make a positive difference to the community
