We are a local leisure charity that helps people in Bolton live healthier and happier lives. Our centres are welcoming places for people of all ages, and you will play an important part in keeping them safe.

About the Role

About the Role

As a Swimming Teacher, you’ll teach swimming lessons to children and adults of all ages and abilities. You’ll help swimmers feel safe, build confidence, and enjoy learning new skills in the water.

No two sessions are the same. One lesson you might be helping a child put their face in the water for the first time, and the next you could be supporting a swimmer to achieve their next badge or improve their technique.

• A friendly, positive, and approachable attitude
• Good communication and people skills
• A passion for teaching and helping people gain confidence in the water
• Ability to work flexibly, including evenings and weekends
• Enhanced DBS certificate (or willingness to obtain one)
• Right to work in the UK

Essential

• Level 1 or 2 Swimming Teacher qualification
• Willingness to complete relevant Swimming Teacher qualification
• National Pool Lifeguard Qualification / National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches

Our lessons are delivered Monday-Sunday varying times across our Active Bolton pools.

By joining us, you will be helping local families, children, older adults and residents stay active and healthy.

We offer:
