Job Description

Reporting to the Camp Manager and working alongside a like-minded team of ratio"d staff, swimming teachers are responsible for planning and delivering safe, structured, fun and active sessions to children aged between 5 and 17 in the school holidays.

Swim Teachers need to be able to adapt for varying age and ability levels (children are grouped by age, typically 5-7, 8-10, 11-14, 15-17), focusing on developing water-confidence and basic stroke development. Our programme is all about getting children active so you\'ll be delivering structured, active games and fun activities rather than a learn to swim programme.

Safety is our number one priority, and Swim Teachers work closely with Lifeguards to ensure preparation of areas and equipment, management of risk assessments, monitoring of water conditions, and management of incidents. Children and staff must adhere to the Kings Camps\' Swimming Policy, the venue Normal Operating Procedure and Emergency Action Plan.

Staff will be working with groups of mixed ability children, with a maximum of 16 children in the pool and with sessions typically lasting between 30 - 45 minutes. Session times and pool availability will vary, but we typically run sessions between 9.30am - 3.30pm, Monday to Friday.

Child safety is our number one priority so you\'ll ensure that the welfare of children is paramount at all times, supervising children during breaks, participating in swimming sessions, overseeing the safe use of equipment, promptly recording any incidents. Implementing behaviour management policies, and upholding health and safety standards and procedures.

As well as operating at some amazing school and university venues across the UK, we also partner with the RNRMC, Annington Trust and the Army Welfare Service, running Kings Camps for serving personnel\'s children at Military Establishments. If you would like to join us in a residential capacity, simply add a note in your application.

Person Specification

• SEQ Level 2 or STA Level 2 Swimming Teacher certification.
• 12+ months\' experience as a swim teacher
• 6+ months experience working with 5 - 17-year-olds
• (Desirable, this role is open to swimming teachers with or without a lifeguarding qualification.) Current Lifeguard Qualification: National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) or National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches (NRASTC). We will require up-to-date certification.
• A collaborative attitude, comfortable with rotating duties and forming positive relationships with both children, the venue, parents and staff
• Knowledge of conducting risk assessments
• Ability to design, plan and deliver safe, dynamic sessions from poolside
