Job description

GLL is currently looking for swimming teachers based at Highgrove Pool and Fitness Centre. 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 real confidence in the water – and 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 a group or one-to-one, and from children to adults.

We’re looking for swimming teachers who are approachable, friendly, and patient, with the ability 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, relevant legislation, and Child Protection Policy is essential.

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’ standards.
3. Ensure pupil safety and control during lessons, enforcing all relevant regulations.
4. Encourage pupils to enroll in further or short courses.
5. Assist with enrolments 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 to ensure consistency across all centres.

Benefits of working with GLL:

• Learning and development opportunities for career growth

• 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
