• Coordinate and oversee team teaching, including managing registers, grouping swimmers, and ratios.
• Mentor and develop your team and newly qualified teachers by providing constructive feedback. Attendance at Teacher Meetings and Training is required.
• Monitor pupil attendance and progress, updating records to help pupils achieve relevant awards.
• Assist with new enrollments and re-enrollments as required by the General Manager.
• Encourage pupils to enroll in further and short courses.
