Join our Puddle Ducks Team

We are recruiting for Swim Academy and Baby & Pre-School Teachers...

We are looking for new teachers to join our expanding team! No previous experience is necessary, but a passion for water, swimming and working with children is a must.

We have our own in house specialised training programmes, which on top of the industry recognised qualifications, enable you to teach our unique classes. We are looking for applicants with positive can-do attitudes, who are reliable and have a flexible approach to working.

This is a part time, term-time only role so is perfect for fitting round existing commitments, but you will need to be available to work early evenings for Swim Academy and part of the weekend. We run classes in Welwyn, Markyate Luton & Dunstable so applicants will need to be willing to travel to these pools. We offer a competitive rate of pay.

Having a ASA Level 2 or STA Award will be advantageous, but not essential as there are courses available. There is also an in-house Puddle Ducks training course which will be paid for by us.

Please see further details for our Baby & Pre-School and Swim Academy roles below.

  • Hours and place of work

    • Working a weekend shift is essential (from 2-6 hours).
    • Additional hours available during the week with the potential to expand or take on other work within the business.
    • Hours p/w depend on your availability and available pool hire. Our existing teachers teach from 3 to 15 hours p/w, due to their preferences.
    • This is a term time role. 

     

    Training

    There are a number of training courses that need to be undertaken to qualify as a Puddle Ducks teacher as well as co-teaching with our existing teachers.
    Depending on course dates, training takes around 3 months (part time) if this is a new career change for you. It’s imperative trainees can commit to this. Once contracts are signed all training costs are covered by us.

    • Approved lifesaving qualification
    • STA Membership and approved safeguarding qualification

    • Co teaching followed by an observation

    Due to the intense quality of training and Puddle Ducks Intellectual Property, teachers are not permitted to teach the same age range for competitors, as this would be a conflict of interest.
