Are you looking to gain your Swimming Teacher Qualification?
Here at Birmingham Community Leisure Trust our goal is to get more people active by providing affordable safe and enjoyable lessons for all and right now we have the opportunity to train a new cohort of Swimming Teachers to grow our programmes to ensure we can do just that. If you are passionate about ensuring all children and adults have access to affordable lessons no matter their ability or background this role could be right for you.
Please note this position is to gain an STA Level 2 Swim teaching qualification and you do not need to hold any qualifications to apply for this
Our next training course will be taking place at Northfield Leisure Centre, and you must be available between 9am to 5pm for all these dates: 28th March, 29th March, 3rd April, 4th April, 5th April, 6th April, 11th April and 12th April
By following the tried and tested Swim England learn to swim framework we develop the confidence in all of our swimmers through fun and enjoyable lessons. Many of our swimmers have progressed to swim competitively and even to represent our country.
Teaching our swimming lessons will see you delivering safe, fun and progressive lessons, but this is also a mentality we take towards our teachers' careers and personal development. We want you to feel safe in your employment so we will contract you for as little or many teaching hours as you want around your current commitments.
