Education Swimming Teacher

Are you passionate about teaching children to swim? 

We are recruiting casual Education Swimming Teachers to join the team to support the delivery of Sheffield's Primary School Swimming Programme. 

We would like to hear from you if you already have experience of teaching swimming and hold the SEQ Level 2 Teaching Swimming Qualification or equivalent, as well as the RLSS National Pool Lifeguard Qualification. We will accept the National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches. However, if successful, we would expect you 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 to assist the pupils in gaining the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum 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.

Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment.  All successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
