Trainee Swimming Teacher. Job in Newmarket Education & Training Jobs

GLL are currently recruiting trainee Swimming Teachers to join us in Mole Valley. If you have the skills and ambition to join us as a Swimming Teacher, there's never been a more exciting time to join us. This is more than just a Swimming Teacher job, it's a career. All of our Swimming Teachers are qualified to at least STA Level 2 Award in Teaching Swimming. The STA qualifications are nationally recognised and will give you the skills to teach non-swimmers, beginners, and improvers.

If you have a passion and talent for swimming, you could be part of our team of Swimming Teachers and help give people of all ages a valuable life skill. We are the largest Swimming School in the UK and our continued growth means we are looking to qualify and employ a growing number of Swimming Teachers. So, if you'd like the opportunity to gain the qualifications and training needed to teach people of all ages and abilities how to swim, apply to be a Trainee Swimming Teacher. Successful applicants will be fully funded to complete their STA Level 2 Award in Teaching Swimming.

We have a range of hours available across weekdays and weekends.

What you need:

• A competent swimmer.
• A good communicator (verbal and non-verbal).
• A good motivator (supportive and able to give feedback).
• Approachable and patient in nature.
• Imaginative.

Once qualified, you will be a part of one of our Teaching Teams, working with a Lead Teacher to support you in your day-to-day role.
