Swimming Teacher

Job description

Welcome to Swim Angels!

We’re looking for an exceptional swim teacher, who have the same passion, professionalism and patience for swim teaching as we do.

Who are we

Here at Swim Angels, we do things differently...

Our motto is to maximise swim practice time. We never have a child waiting around for their turn to swim.

We use swim methodology not just from the UK, but also Australia and the USA.

We use the STA swim level badges & certificates.

Location

Huddersfield (HD3) & (HD5)

20 x 10 metre Pool maintained at 29 Celsius.

What we can offer you

Payment is £18 - £25 per hour depending on experience.

• Saturdays 12:30 noon - 3:30pm or 4:30pm (HD5)
• Sundays 9am - 1pm (HD3)
• Sundays 10am - 1pm (HD5)

A contract, not zero hours or freelance.

Holiday pay.

Statutory sick pay (if eligible).

Pay for setup/setdown of equipment

What we would like from you

Level 2 qualified.

Minimum 2 years experience and 5 years desirable.

Attend staff training.

Be open minded to other swim techniques and equipment - even if you're a 10 year+ experienced swim teacher extraordinaire!

Use same language when using teaching points. Such as "tiger tiger" for front paddling so all our lessons have uniform terminology.

Accept swim lesson observation/feedback every few months.

Teaching swimming lessons for children 4 years +.

Teachers are required to teach in the water for the majority of classes.

Update student's progression records via our folders during lessons.

Must help with the setup and set down of equipment, floats, pool platforms etc.

Interview will consist of dry side questions on swimming knowledge, experience and scenarios face to face or via teams online. If you pass the dry side interview, you will be invited to an in-water interview where you will teach two lessons of different swim levels.

Must have up to date knowledge regarding swimming drills and technique. An "S" shape freestyle catch phase will not do!

Must have Swim England (ASA) swim teaching level 2 or STA swim teaching level 2 and desirable if you also have ASA or STA baby swimming level 2.

Must have an RLSS National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers & Coaches (NRASTC) or the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification with at least one year left. To cover the spring and summer & autumn term.
