Are you passionate about swimming?
Here at Shropshire Community Leisure Trust, our goal is to get more people active by providing affordable, safe, and enjoyable lessons for all. We are currently recruiting for 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.
By following the tried and tested Swim England learn to swim framework, we develop confidence in all 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. We want you to feel secure in your employment, so we will contract you for as few or as many teaching hours as you wish, around your current commitments.
We provide your safeguarding and DBS checks, and you will be covered by our insurance. Working for us enables you to work within all our leisure centres and provides excellent personal and career development through continued training and learning opportunities.
Our in-house Aquatic Training Academy offers ongoing training through our specialist CPDs in swimming teaching, allowing you to access a range of training throughout your career. We have a solid pathway in place for career progression into management or other areas in the business.
All our teachers are given a free membership, along with one for a friend or family member.
What you'll need to do the role:
You will have excellent customer service skills and be someone who is happy to deal with people of all ages and backgrounds.
You will need to hold either a STA Award/Certificate in Teaching Swimming or Swim England (Previously ASA) Level 2. Holding a valid RLSS UK NPLQ, RLSS UK NRASTC, or STA Safety Award for Teachers would be advantageous but not essential, as we can provide the training to complete these courses free of charge.
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.
* 25 days annual leave.
* Life assurance up to 2x base salary.
* Simply health cash plan.
* Anytime health line.
* Employee assistance programme.
* Benefits portal offering discounts on eating out, travel, shopping, and entertainment.
* A safe and supportive culture.
* A chance to make a positive difference to the community.

A world of opportunity: Our swimming teachers are integral to the running of our centres, so as well as progressing into aquatics coordination, you can move into other centre management roles in one of our 55 facilities.
