You will:

• Hold a recognised Level 2 Swimming Teacher qualification awarded by Swim England, the Swimming Teachers' Association (STA) or another recognised awarding organisation accepted by Dudley Council.
• Have experience of delivering high-quality swimming lessons to children and, ideally, adults.
• Be passionate about teaching swimming and promoting water safety.
• Have excellent communication and customer service skills.
• Be committed to safeguarding children, promoting equality, diversity and inclusion, and maintaining high professional standards.
• Be able to work both independently and as part of a supportive team.
• Be willing to undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and mandatory training.

Why Join DB Leisure?

At DB Leisure, you'll be part of a friendly and supportive Aquatics Team committed to helping people of all ages develop confidence and skills in the water.

Please note that working days, times and lesson timetables are subject to change at the beginning of each school term to meet the operational demands of the School Swimming Programme and the wider Learn to Swim programme. Flexibility is therefore essential.
