About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative, and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About The Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and qualified Swimming Teacher to join our Leisure Services team. In this rewarding role, you will deliver high-quality swimming lessons across a range of aquatic programmes, including the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework, pre-school classes, adult lessons, school swimming sessions, and specialist programmes. You will play a vital role in helping children and adults build confidence in the water, develop their skills, and achieve their swimming goals in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment.
