Swimming Teacher

GLL is currently looking for swimming teachers based at Fulwood and West View Leisure Centres in Preston. Join us as a swimming teacher and play a key role in developing our customers\’ swimming skills. 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 into account their nature and needs. Swimming teachers draw on their knowledge of practices, progression, and teaching points, applying it in the most effective way. While some administration is involved, most of your time will be spent teaching people to become stronger swimmers, whether in a group or one-to-one, and from children to adults.

We’re looking for swimming teachers who are approachable, with a friendly, patient nature needed to build people’s trust, motivate pupils, and encourage with praise. You’ll need to be STA Award or Certificate level or Swim England Level 2 qualified and ideally have the National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers & Coaches. Knowledge of health, safety, and other relevant legislation is vital, as is an understanding of Child Protection Policy.

What you will do:

• Maintain a positive image of the Centre to customers and the public by providing a welcoming, helpful, and professional poolside service.
• Comply with the commitments outlined in the ‘Customer Charter’ and ensure standards are maintained.
• Ensure the safety and control of pupils within swimming lessons and enforce relevant regulations.
• Encourage pupils to enroll in further courses and short courses.
• Assist with new enrollments and re-enrollments as required by the General Manager.
• Follow the Safeguarding Policy & Behaviour Policy within the Swim School.
• Record and complete relevant awards, ensuring standards are met.
• Teach to the standards set within the product manual for consistency across centres.

Benefits for employees:

• Salary of up to £15.70 per hour
• Learning & development opportunities for career growth
• Discounted gym membership for you and your partner
• Flexible working arrangements
• Industry-leading pay rates
• Opportunity to join the GLL Society and participate in social events
• Exclusive discounts on villas in Portugal and ski chalets in Bulgaria
• Health assurance
• Professional development and training
• Discounts across retailers (GLL Extras)
