Job description

GLL is currently looking for swimming teachers based within the Reigate and Banstead Borough Council (Donyngs in Redhill, Horley, and Tadworth Leisure centres). Join us as a swimming teacher and play a key role in developing our customers' swimming skills. This is your chance to deliver safe, consistent swimming lessons that give people confidence in the water – an invaluable life skill.

As an experienced swimming teacher, you’ll thrive on supporting people to achieve their potential, taking into account their nature and needs. Swimming teachers draw on their knowledge of practices, progression, and teaching points, applying it effectively. While some administration is involved, most of your time will be spent teaching people to become stronger swimmers, whether in groups or one-to-one, and from children to adults.

We’re looking for swimming teachers who are approachable, friendly, and patient—able to build trust, motivate pupils, and encourage progress with praise. You’ll need to be STA Award or Certificate level or Swim England Level 2 qualified, and ideally hold the National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers & Coaches. Knowledge of health, safety, and relevant legislation is vital, as is an understanding of Child Protection Policy.

What you will do:

1. Maintain a positive image of the Centre by providing a welcoming, helpful, and professional poolside service.
2. Comply with the ‘Customer Charter’ to ensure standards are maintained.
3. Ensure the safety and control of pupils during lessons, enforcing relevant regulations.
4. Encourage pupils to enroll in further and short courses.
5. Assist with new-enrollments and re-enrollments as required by the General Manager.
6. Follow the Safeguarding Policy, Behaviour Policy, and other relevant procedures.
7. Record and complete relevant awards, ensuring standards are met.
8. Teach according to the standards set within the product manual for consistency across centres.

Benefits of working with GLL:

• Salary of £20.74 per hour, including allowances.
• Learning and development opportunities for career growth.
• Discounted gym membership for you and your partner.
• Industry-leading pay rates.
• Opportunity to join the GLL Society and participate in social events.
• Exclusive discounts on villas in Portugal and ski chalets in Bulgaria.
• Health assurance.
• Career pathways and professional development, including practical and theoretical training.
• Discounts across thousands of retailers with GLL Extras.
• 25% off Red Letter Days and Buy A Gift.
• 20% off GLL spa treatments and products.
