Baby and Toddler Swimming Teacher - Northern Community Leisure Ltd, Bangor

Location: Bangor Aurora, 3 Valentine Road, Co-Down, N. Ireland, BT20 4TH

Working Hours: Casual, Flexible around your current commitments

Salary: £18 per hour with excellent benefits

At Serco, we're pleased to be recruiting on behalf of Northern Community Leisure Trust. Northern Community Leisure Trust encourages active, healthy lifestyles across the local community by providing affordable access to a wide range of sports and leisure facilities in a safe, clean, friendly and welcoming space. Their goal is to support healthier and happier lives for everyone.

Delivering these services relies on an enthusiastic, customer-focused team, and they're now looking for a Baby and Toddler Swimming Teacher to join their team and help make a positive difference every day. By following the tried and tested Swim Ireland learn to swim framework, we develop the confidence in all 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, but this is also a mentality we take towards our teachers' careers and personal development. 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. Paying for your own safeguarding and DBS checks aren't fun or cheap, so we provide these for you! There's also 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. When it comes to that career, we have a solid pathway in place meaning there is opportunity to progress into management or other areas in the business.

What you'll need to do the role:

• You will have excellent customer service skills and be someone who is happy to teach babies and toddlers.
• You will need to hold an STA Baby and pre-school or Swim Ireland Baby and toddler qualification to be considered for this role.
• 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.
• This role will require a DBS check.
