Job title: Swimming Teacher
Location: Bangor Aurora, 3 Valentine Road, Co-Down, N. Ireland, BT20 4TH
Working Hours: Casual, Flexible around your current commitments
Salary: £17.12 per hour + excellent benefits
At Serco, we're pleased to be recruiting on behalf of Northern Community Leisure
Trust.
Northern Community Leisure Trust encourages 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 Swimming Teachers to join their team and help make a positive difference
every day.
By following the tried and tested Swim Ireland learn to swim framework we
develop the confidence in all 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.
Our in-house Aquatic Training Academy will provide you with ongoing training
through our specialist CPDs in swimming teaching, meaning you can access a range
of training throughout your career, and when it comes to that career, we have a
solid pathway in place meaning there is opportunity to progress into management
or other areas in the business.
What you’ll need to do the role
You will have excellent customer service skills and be someone who is happy to
deal with people of all ages and back grounds.
You will need to hold either a STA Award/Certificate in Teaching Swimming or
Swim Ireland Level 2
Holding either a valid RLSS UK NPLQ, RLSS UK NRASTC or STA Safety Award for
Teachers would be advantageous but not essential as we can provide the training
to complete these courses free of charge.

• Training and development: Over 1,100 internal courses available, funding for
