Are you passionate about swimming?

Here at Buckinghamshire Leisure Trust, our goal is to encourage active, healthy lifestyles in a safe, warm, clean, friendly, and fun environment. We aim to be the destination of choice for an active community, helping you make MORE of every day. To deliver these services, we need an enthusiastic and customer-focused team.

Working with us provides opportunities to work across all our leisure centers, along with ongoing training and learning through our Aquatic Training Academy, which offers CPD courses in swimming teaching.

There is a clear career pathway into management or other areas within the business.

All our teachers receive a free membership to the facilities, plus one for a friend or family member.

What you’ll need to do the role

• Provide excellent customer service and engage with people of all ages and backgrounds.
• Hold either a STA Award/Certificate in Teaching Swimming or Swim England Level 2 qualification.
• Possess a valid RLSS UK NPLQ, RLSS UK NRASTC, or STA Safety Award for Teachers.
• Be eligible for a DBS check.
