• Keep the Deck Flowing: Coordinate daily deck coordination, assist with instructor rostering, and ensure lessons run safely and smoothly on time.
• Champion the Community: Be the trusted, go-to face on deck for parents, celebrating student milestones and handling queries with warmth and care.

What You Bring

• Organisational Ability: Confidence handling day-to-day administration, from class schedules and rosters to parent communication.
• Safety First Mindset: A proactive commitment to aquatic safety, risk management, and child wellbeing.
