Trainee Swimming TeacherNew

GLL has Trainee Swimming Teacher opportunities in Croydon, for anyone looking for a new, exciting career. 

Building on our continued growth, we’re now the UK’s largest leisure social enterprise and the country’s biggest swim school operator – and set for even greater success. So, if you have the qualifications and training needed to teach people of all ages and abilities how to swim, join us as a Swimming Teacher and play a key role in the next step of our journey. Bringing ambition to match ours, 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, you’ll draw on your knowledge of practices, progression, 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. Ideally, 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. 

As a leader within the leisure industry, we can also offer scope to progress your career, and job variety like nowhere else.
