Swim School TeacherNew

GLL is currently looking for a number of Swimming Teachers across Belfast. Join us as a swimming teacher and play a key role in the developing our 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. 

We’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 centres 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.
