Working for:
Aquatots
Description:
Being an Aquatots Teacher is exciting, fun and rewarding! There aren't many jobs where you can boast about teaching lifesaving skills from a tiny baby, right up to achieving their 5 metre distance swim as a toddler - and beyond! Our teachers will tell you, it doesn't feel like a job at all.
Each week is different and you become just as invested in your little swimmers progress as their parents are. As you would expect, singing and playing are essential parts of every lesson, but as well as having a splashing good time, we teach our little swimmers and their parents many essential water safety skills. Why wouldn't you love to be a part of that!
The role is perfect for those looking for well-paid, part-time hours to fit around their family, school terms, and/or other work commitments. A large majority of our swimmers attend their swimming lessons at the weekend, so if you are available to teach primarily on a Saturday or Sunday (or both!) we would love to hear from you!
There are often opportunities to teach during the week too. Becoming an Aquatots Teacher will allow you to work around your family commitments, and other work.
Full training is provided, including gaining nationaly recognised certifcates NRASTC and first aid. No direct experience is needed, just the right positive attitude!

Best suited to:
Those with a passion for swimming and making a difference in young children's lives.
