Education Swimming Teacher

Are you passionate about teaching children to swim?

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

We’d love to hear from you if you already have experience teaching swimming and hold the SEQ Level 2 Teaching Swimming Qualification (or equivalent), as well as the RLSS National Pool Lifeguard Qualification.

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.

Under the Guaranteed Interview scheme, applicants who are disabled, care leavers, or armed forces veterans will be guaranteed an interview if they meet the essential criteria and indicate their eligibility on the application form.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all individuals, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for everyone and where appropriate to the role the successful applicant will be required to undertake relevant safeguarding checks.
