The Sport and Leisure team at Chesterfield Borough Council is looking to recruit variable Swimming Teachers to deliver its learn to swim programme at Queens Park Sports Centre and The Healthy Living Centre.
Why work for us?
Through programme growth over the past 12 months our learn to swim programme has expanded significantly meaning we are now 30% bigger than the
programme delivered pre-Covid-19. We accommodate almost 2,500 children to learn to swim each week at both our centres. Our programme is one of the biggest
and most successful in the region. Teaching and develop swimming as essential life skill is core to our programme. Through award winning initiatives such as
Outswimming Cancer and our volunteer programme we create opportunities for our communities and staff that have enabled us to develop a strong programme; so come and join us.
We are looking to recruit into various positions to support vacancy's within our team along with staff absence. We have x2 annualised posts at 6 hours per week available, as well as x1 variable hours posts. Part-time hours are available on a weekly basis. Candidates should be qualified to Swim England level 2, although level 1 is acceptable with a commitment to train to level 2 within an agreed timescale. Hours of work can be discussed through the recruitment process.
We expect our swimming teachers to show a degree of flexibility to meet customer demand within the opening hours of the service where new opportunities are identified.
We will support you to continue on-going CPD linked to the Swim England National Teaching Plan and framework. We expect an innovative and high-quality
teaching service to be delivered to meet a wide range of customers and specific needs from learn to swim to stroke technique, and initiatives such as flip and fun
schemes. One to one lessons are also provided for at both sports centres.
All team members will be expected to provide support to the service covering colleague absences for training and holidays, etc. Regular training will be provided
and attendance at planned swimming teacher meetings throughout the year. You must hold a current National Pool Lifeguard award, or National Rescue Award for
Swimming Teachers and Coaches.
The post requires regular unsocial hours working including evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays involving services provided at all Councils Sports and Leisure
venues within the Borough.
We pride ourselves in paying a very competitive salary, (£12.46 to £15.41 per hour) through applying a market supplement, giving further support to our staff and
consistency across the programme.
The successful candidates will be subject to a Disclosure carried out by the Disclosure and Barring Service.
