GLL is currently looking for swimming teachers based in Swindon. 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 in the most effective way. There’ll be some administration involved, but most of your time will be spent doing what you do best: 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, with a friendly, patient nature needed to build people’s trust, motivate pupils, and encourage with praise. You’ll need to be STA Award or Certificate level or Swim England Level 2 qualified, and ideally have the National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers & Coaches. Knowledge of health, safety, and other relevant legislation will be vital, as will an understanding of Child Protection Policy.

What you will do:

• Maintain a good and positive image of the Centre to customers and the public generally by providing a welcoming, helpful, and professional poolside service.
• Comply with the commitments outlined in the ‘Customer Charter’, ensuring that standards are maintained as stipulated.
• Ensure the safety and control of the pupils within the swimming lesson and ensure that all relevant regulations applicable to the centre's operation are enforced and complied with.
• Actively encourage pupils to enrol on further courses and short courses.
• Assist with new-enrolments and re-enrolments as required by the General Manager.
• Understand and follow the Safeguarding Policy and Procedure & Behaviour policy contained within the Swim School product.
• Record and complete relevant awards in line with expected standards, ensuring that the levels are obtained.
• Teach to the standard set within the product manual to ensure a consistent approach throughout all the centres.

As a charitable social enterprise owned by its staff, GLL offers a great range of benefits for its employees:

• Salary of up to £18.50 per hour
