At Freedom Leisure we can offer a friendly working environment that brings lots of variety every day.
If you like talking to people, this is definitely the role for you. We understand that engaging with customers and colleagues is not as easy as it sounds and sometimes comes with experience. We will provide all the training needed to be a successful Swim Teacher but we also believe that employing people from a mix of employment backgrounds can offer a wider benefit to our team, some of which might be in their first ever job and need more support from their manager and colleagues.
We are looking for Level 2 qualified Swim Teachers to join our friendly and professional team at Summerfields Leisure Centre. In the role of Swim Teacher, you will be part of our swim school programme and be teaching both children and adults either in a group or individual lessons which take part during the day from 9am - 6pm. We are looking for someone who has a passion for swimming, and enjoys teaching and helping others.
If you want to progress further, we will support this through additional training, both formal and on the job will be key. However, we also appreciate that not everyone wants to ‘move up the ladder’ and that’s absolutely fine with us. What is really important is that you are happy in your work.
At Freedom Leisure we welcome our diverse local community to our centres every day and we want to reflect that same multicultural mix inside our business too. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves, have the same opportunities and thrive together. Because at Freedom Leisure, You Matter!
