Are you passionate about swimming? Are you naturally caring and supportive? If so we may have an exciting opportunity for you.
Here at Birmingham Community Leisure Trust, our goal is to get more people active by providing affordable, safe, and enjoyable lessons for all. Right now, we have the opportunity to train a new cohort of Swimming Teachers to grow our programmes to ensure we can do just that. If you are passionate about ensuring all children and adults have access to affordable lessons no matter their ability or background, this role could be right for you.
Our next training course will be taking place at Northfield Leisure Centre, and you must be available for all these dates:
1. Sat 31st Aug, 8-4pm
2. Sun 1st Sept, 9-6pm
3. Mon 2nd Sept, 7pm
4. Tues 3rd Sept, 7pm
5. Wed 4th Sept, 7pm
6. Thurs 5th Sept, 7pm
By following the tried and tested Swim England learn to swim framework, we develop the confidence in all of our swimmers through fun and enjoyable lessons. Many of our swimmers have progressed to swim competitively and even to represent our country.
Teaching our swimming lessons will see you delivering safe, fun, and progressive lessons. This is also a mentality we take towards our teachers' careers and personal development. We want you to feel safe in your employment, so we will contract you for as little or many teaching hours as you want around your current commitments.
Paying for your own safeguarding and DBS checks isn’t fun or cheap, so we provide these for you! There’s also no need to hold your own personal insurance, as you will be covered by ours. Working for us will enable you to work within all our leisure centres, as well as giving you excellent personal and career development through continued training and learning opportunities.
We share your passion for leisure and want you to be able to embrace all the excellent services we provide to our customers, which is why all our teachers are given a free membership as well as one for a friend or family member.
Serco manages these facilities on a day-to-day basis on behalf of the Trust.
What you’ll need to do the role:
Working as a swimming teacher will see you interacting heavily with our customers, so you will use your excellent communication and customer service skills to serve and support people of all ages and backgrounds.
You will be someone who is passionate about swimming and the service they deliver, ensuring you can use your motivational and organisational skills to deliver safe, fun, and progressive lessons. If you can provide the enthusiasm, we will provide the training and qualification.
To be considered, you must also be available to work evenings and weekends from September and be willing to complete a lifesaving qualification (NRASTC or NPLQ).
If you feel you meet the above criteria and would like the opportunity to qualify as a Swimming Teacher, then please apply today!
This role will require a DBS check.
What we offer:
* Free membership at the Centre plus heavily discounted use of classes and facilities.
* Free safeguarding training and DBS check.
* Excellent Development and Training Opportunities.
* 6% employer matched pension contribution.
* Days annual leave (Pro Rata) + bank holidays.
Why Serco:
Meaningful and vital work: Swimming not only makes people healthier and happier, it also teaches a skill for life. As one of our teachers, you will be at the forefront of helping people develop those skills.
A world of opportunity: Our swimming teachers are integral to the running of our centres, so as well progressing into aquatics coordination, you can move into other centre management roles in one of our facilities.
Great people: Teaching can lead to a great sense of accomplishment as you watch people progress and work with your local community. And as you are supporting your students, we will be supporting you with ongoing training and development.
