    At Puddle Ducks we want every child to love swimming, respect the water and swim beautifully. That’s why our standards are the highest and our approach is unique.

    Our highly trained and qualified teachers are experts at identifying children’s levels of ability and adapting activities to the individual, nurturing confidence and encouraging natural ability.

    Our lessons are taught in specially selected pools with limited class sizes. Classes incorporate rhyme (our bespoke songs have been written by professional musicians) and movement based on extensive child development research.

    We are recruiting a part time baby and preschool swimming teacher/swimming instructor (for our classes for ages 0-4 years) to work in and around the Rotherham/Doncaster area teaching baby and preschool children.

    It takes someone very special to become a swimming teacher but you don't need to have experience of teaching already (although it would be an advantage). We are looking for people with the following attributes:

    To enjoy being in the water and able to swim
    Confident, friendly and warm personality
    Flexible approach and team worker
    Enjoy being around children
    Someone with a passion to teach babies and children a skill for life and build their water confidence

    Our business is totally dependent upon having the best teachers. Commitment, passion, loyalty and the ability to create a good rapport with children, carers (usually mothers), babies and small children are all absolutely essential. Our customers need to know their teacher loves their job and this will be reflected in the way they teach.

    Teaching swimming classes in the Rotherham and Doncaster areas
    Must be able to commit to at least one weekend shift

    Due to the nature of the role there are several training courses that need to be undertaken to qualify as a Puddle Ducks teacher/instructor including an internal course.
