We will also accept the National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches. However, if successful, you would be expected to work towards gaining the RLSS National Pool Lifeguard Qualification.



The successful candidate(s) will work with the swim team to plan and deliver a series of lessons over a 36-week period, helping pupils achieve the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum swimming requirements.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.



It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.
