As our new Aquatics Director/ Manager/ Leader, your purpose will be to help us create a fun yet professional environment, providing our customers and their children with a great learning experience.

This is a part-time position (with bonus), which can eventually become a full time role for the right person. You will need to work flexible hours, including a regular weekend day and evenings. You will also need to be able to travel locally in the West Vancouver area to visit all our pools.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Teaching the British Swim School program curriculum to children and adults as the Lead Instructor

• Using BSS Instructor assessment and development tools/checklists to maintain lesson quality

• Assisting with business growth and attracting new customers

Do you have what we are looking for?

• A track record in the world of swimming and fitness teaching/management – A specialist aquatics qualification is desirable but not required
• Experience working with children and a passion for our mission of water safety and survival
• 3 years of swimming instructor and supervisory experience
• Experience with setting and maintaining standards for a service business – especially if its child related
• A Lifeguard certification – or ability to renew (or this can be provided). First Aid and CPR required.
• Fluency in English – and another language is a real bonus!

If you can offer us all of the above, then in return we'll give you training on the best swim program in the business, along with a competitive compensation package. Come and join us at British Swim School, where we’ve been teaching the “Survival of the littlest” since 1981.

Compensation: $30.00 - $45.00 per hour

Working at British Swim School is more than just a job; it’s a chance to create a lasting impact that could change a child's life.

As part of the British Swim School Team, you play a role in your local community, empowering others and sharing your passion. It’s a chance to be part of a fun-loving team of dedicated people who are committed to promoting water safety and a lifelong love of the water.

While we teach swimming to people of all ages and abilities, most of our students are preschool and elementary-aged kids. Our instructors should like working with this age group and be good at making parents feel comfortable. It's helpful if you have experience with children or in a child-focused job, but it's not required if you can show the right attitude. The job comes with specialized training in our advanced and unique British Swim School approach.

We also have exciting opportunities with our Customer Service Team, even if you're not in the pool. These are the people committed to providing the best service in the industry. In these roles, you might talk to parents on the phone or by the pool. Wherever you are, the aim is to make everyone feel like part of the British Swim School Family as we focus on ensuring the “Survival of the Littlest.”

Each franchise location is independently owned and operated by a franchisee (franchise owner). Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchisee. All inquiries about employment at this franchisee should be made directly to the franchise location, and not to British Swim School Corporate.
