RATE OF PAY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON EXPERIENCE

Our Swimming Teachers are vital to the delivery of the Swim School and School Swimming programmes at the centres. The lesson programmes are important both from a community engagement perspective and for the contribution to the financial viability of the centres, enabling us to support other programming activities.

As a Swimming Teacher, your responsibilities include planning and delivering fun, engaging, and educational lessons following our scheme of work and guidance from relevant National Governing Bodies. You will also assist with routine checks, housekeeping standards, and customer safety, especially for the class members in your charge during lessons.

We seek individuals who enjoy regular interaction with customers and can do so in a warm and welcoming manner. You will often be the team member with whom customers build a relationship and trust, thus holding significant responsibility for representing LeisureSK professionally and efficiently; remaining calm in difficult situations, proactively resolving issues where possible, or reporting immediately to management if necessary.

Swimming teacher responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Delivering high-quality teaching services.
• Maintaining the standards of the Swim School brand in accordance with procedures.
• Planning, executing, and evaluating structured programmes using the ASA Learn to Swim Pathway.
• Updating Swim School records (currently Learn2) with attendance and assessment data.
• Ensuring all activities are fun and promoting a positive image of the Swim School and the Company.
• Supporting other swimming-related activities to provide a comprehensive development programme.
• Continuously updating and improving technical knowledge through professional development and staff training.
• Identifying pupils suitable for progression to performance and excellence pathways.
• Providing excellent customer care with a warm and welcoming manner to encourage communication.
• Adhering to health and safety responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act and maintaining a safe teaching environment.
• Being fully aware of and understanding the PSOP and Emergency Evacuation Procedures.
• Completing additional tasks as requested by management.
• Attending all scheduled team meetings and training sessions.

This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and requires an Enhanced DBS check and a check of the Adults & Children's Barred Lists before confirmation of appointment.
