Leisure Solutions Community Trust encourage active, healthy lifestyles across the local community. Providing affordable access to a wide range of sports and leisure facilities in a safe, clean, friendly and welcoming space, their goal is to support healthier and happier lives for everyone. Delivering these services relies on an enthusiastic, customer-focused team, and they're now looking for 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.

• Please note this position is to gain an STA Level 2 Swim teaching qualification, and you do not need to hold any qualifications to apply for this
Our next training course is taking place on the 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 18th & 23rd November 10am-6pm. 100 percent attendance is required. Upon successful completion of the course, candidates will be offered a selection of Casual / Contract Swim Teacher positions across our site. 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, but 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 aren'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. 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. You must be willing to complete a NRASTC lite qualification, a DBS and have access to a computer or tablet to complete work on the course.

Meaningful and vital work: Swimming not only makes people healthier and happier it also teaches a skill for life.
