Overview

More About Your Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Swimming Teacher at Places Leisure. You will work in a fun, lively environment with likeminded people, inspiring others to work together and deliver their best. With a passion for teaching, swimming and strong class programming and instructing skills, you will be enthusiastic while engaging with customers and sharing your knowledge and expertise.
All of our swimmer development stages are based on the National Plan for Teaching Swimming. Our Swimming Teachers should hold a minimum of UKCC Level 2. It would be advantageous to hold a Lifesaving Qualification (NPLQ or NRASTC); however, we support motivated individuals to achieve these qualifications through our ongoing learning and development opportunities.
There are many opportunities within Places Leisure. Your career as a Swimming Teacher can lead to roles such as Swimming Co-ordinator and Contract Swimming Development Manager. We offer ongoing training and development, including support with NPLQ or NRASTC qualifications and enhancements to customer service skills.
