Swimming Teacher GLL

Overview

GLL is currently looking for swimming teachers based at Wantage Leisure Centre. Join Greenwich Leisure Limited as a swimming teacher and play a key role in developing Greenwich Leisure Limited's 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 a pupil’s nature and needs into account, swimming teachers draw on their knowledge of practices, progression, and teaching points and apply it in the most effective way. Naturally, there’ll be some administration involved, but rest assured that almost all 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.

Greenwich Leisure Limited’re looking for swimming teachers who are approachable, with the 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 too, 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 to 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.
