Are you passionate about play and swimming? This hybrid role combines the fun of a Play Ambassador with the rewarding journey of becoming a qualified Swim Teacher - we call it an Aqua Buddy.

As a Play Ambassador, you'll lead exciting land-based activities including art, music, cooking, and general play. No need to be a professional chef, artist, or musician. It's all about the fun of the process, not the result!

As an Aqua Buddy, you'll be delivering swimming lessons for ages 4 months - 12 years, alongside the swim development team. Before you'll teach, you'll receive your level 1 and 2 qualifications certified from swim England, and we'll cover the cost! You'll also receive in-house coaching and ongoing support from our swim development team to ensure every lesson reflects the playful, child-led philosophy at the heart of our club, while still delivering structured, progressive, swim-focused learning.

Purple Dragon is a luxury private members club, providing effortless family time, all the time, for families with children up to twelve years of age.

What You'll Do:

Lead themed play sessions and child-led adventures throughout the club and pool. Once qualified, plan and teach swim lessons for children aged 4 months-12 years. Support weekly pool parties and water-based activities. Keep play and pool areas clean, safe and well maintained. Create a warm, inclusive and fun environment for children and their grown-ups. Work as a team to deliver 5-star family experiences.

What You'll Bring:

1+ year experience working with children in settings like play, childcare, camps, sports, or arts. A playful spirit, creativity and confidence (robot dancing encouraged!). Strong communication with kids and adults alike. Fluent English and a clear Enhanced DBS. Energy, organisation, and a passion for creating joyful memories.
