Wakefield, Wakefield, United Kingdom Kings Camps Full time
Swimming Teacher/Lifeguard Job Opportunity

Kings Camps is seeking dynamic and enthusiastic individuals to join our teams as a Swim Teacher/Lifeguard. If you have a passion for developing children's water confidence and ensuring a safe aquatic environment, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We run sports and activity day camps for children throughout the school holidays that deliver our mission – getting children active, having fun and learning together.

We know market-leading programmes don't deliver themselves - it's our people who create amazing holiday experiences for children - and we're now hiring energetic and passionate Swim Teachers and Lifeguards to deliver our mission in 2024 and beyond.

Why Work for Kings Camps?
  • High-quality, enjoyable, and worthwhile experience
  • Career development and the potential of regular employment with Kings (we always promote from within)
  • Working in an experienced staff team of coaches and managers who provide a strong support network
  • Bi-weekly personal evaluation directly from your Manager
  • Delivering market-leading swim programmes to children of all abilities
  • First-class locations – some of the best universities and schools in the UK
  • Excellent training – market-leading online and on-site training covering customer care, child protection, child supervision, child welfare and behaviour, health and safety, sports coaching techniques, and creative and dynamic session development
  • The opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of children from all backgrounds
About the Role

As a Swim Teacher/Lifeguard, you will be responsible for delivering bespoke and engaging 30-45 minute sessions with mixed ability groups aged between 5-17 focusing on building water confidence and improving swimming techniques. This role is open to swimming teachers with or without a lifeguarding qualification.

Reporting to the Camp Manager and working alongside a like-minded team, you will be working with 3 to 8 groups of mixed ability children, with a maximum of 16 children in the pool with sessions typically lasting between 30 – 45 minutes. Session times and pool availability will vary, but we typically run sessions between 9.30am – 3.30pm, Monday to Friday.

Child safety is our number one priority, so you'll ensure that the welfare of children is paramount at all times, supervising children during their lunch breaks, participating in swimming sessions, overseeing safe use of equipment, and promptly recording any incidents.

Because we're Ofsted registered, you'll also be given the opportunity to see how we implement high standards in children's care and wellbeing as well as the opportunity to gain first aid qualifications, interact and build relationships with parents/guardians, and access to our market-leading training.

Person Specification
  • You'll bring 12 months experience as a swim teacher
  • For our swim roles, you'll possess an up-to-date either an SEQ Level 2 or STA Level 2 certification
  • Current Lifeguard Qualification: National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) or National Rescue Award to Swimming Teachers and Coach (NRASTC). We will require up-to-date certification
  • Upwards of 6 months experience working with 5 – 17-year-olds
  • You'll love developing and growing people and bring demonstrated experience in coaching or mentoring younger individuals
  • A collaborative attitude, comfortable with rotating duties and forming positive relationships with both children and staff
  • Capable of planning swim activities for mixed ability groups sizing between 5-7, 8-10, 11-14, 15-17
  • Knowledge of conducting depth testing & risk assessments
  • Ability to design, plan, and deliver safe, but dynamic sessions from the poolside or in the water using creative techniques that appeal to a wide age range while carefully considering child welfare

Kings Active Foundation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Safer recruitment is central to the way we work, and all staff and volunteers are expected to share our commitment to safeguarding, always creating an environment where young people feel safe and can thrive.
