Are you passionate about swimming? Do you like to provide safe and enjoyable lessons in a first-class environment? If so, then this could be the right role for you.

 

Here at Shropshire Community Leisure Trust our goal is to get more people, more active, more often. We provide affordable access to a wide range of sports and leisure facilities to support healthier and happier people across all segments of the local community. To deliver those services takes an enthusiastic and customer focused team - and right now we are looking to recruit for Swimming Teachers to join the centre with a February start date in mind depending on lockdown restrictions.

 

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.

 

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

 

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 a Swim England/ASA qualification and a qualification in water safety/lifesaving (NPLQ)
