Swimming Teacher in Market Drayton

We are looking to recruit Swimming Teachers to join our team. By following the tried and tested Swim England learn to swim framework, we develop the confidence in all of our swimmers through fun and enjoyable lessons. Many of our swimmers have progressed to swim competitively and even to represent our country.

Teaching our swimming lessons will see you delivering safe, fun and progressive lessons for our baby and pre-school customers. We want you to feel safe in your employment, so we will contract you for as little or as many teaching hours as you want around your current commitments. We provide safeguarding and DBS checks for you, and there is no need to hold your own personal insurance as you will be covered by ours.

Working for us will enable you to work within all our leisure centres, as well as giving you excellent personal and career development through continued training and learning opportunities. Our in-house Aquatic Training Academy will provide you with ongoing training through our specialist CPDs in swimming teaching, meaning you can access a range of training throughout your career. There is also an opportunity to progress into management or other areas in the business.

We share your passion for leisure and want you to embrace all the excellent services we provide to our customers, which is why all of our teachers are given a free membership as well as one for a friend or family member.

What you’ll need to do the role:

• Excellent customer service skills.
• Ability to deal with people of all ages and backgrounds.
• Hold either a STA Award/Certificate in Teaching Swimming or Swim England (Previously ASA) Level 2.

About Disability Confident:

A Disability Confident employer will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria for the job as defined by the employer. It is important to note that in certain recruitment situations, such as high-volume, seasonal and high-peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.

Qualifications and Training:

Holding either a valid RLSS UK NPLQ, RLSS UK NRASTC or STA Safety Award for Teachers would be advantageous but not essential, as we can provide the training to complete these courses free of charge. If you do not yet hold the relevant qualifications to teach swimming but are looking to start a career with us, please do not worry as we have multiple qualified Swimming Teacher Tutors across our business and often run training courses. Please submit your application and we will be in touch when we have a course running near you. This role will require a DBS check.

Why Join us:

• A place you can make an impact: Swimming not only makes people healthier and happier, it also teaches a skill for life.
• A place you can count on: Our swimming teachers are integral to the running of our centres, so as well progressing into aquatics coordination, you can move into other centre management roles in one of our 55 facilities.
• A place for you: Teaching can lead to a great sense of accomplishment as you watch people progress and work with your local community. We will support you with ongoing training and development.

What we offer:

• Free membership at the Centre plus heavily discounted use of classes and facilities.
• Free safeguarding training and DBS check.
• Excellent Development and Training Opportunities.
• 6% employer matched pension contribution.
• Up to 25 days annual leave + Public Holidays.
