The academy allows aspiring teachers to receive all their training for only £79, compared to the usual cost of over £1,000. It includes mentoring to support your development, and you’ll be matched with an employer.

Successful applicants will complete their SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) and Level 2 Teaching Swimming qualifications and be supported through their training journey with Institute of Swimming Membership which includes over £100 worth of free e-learning. To help them develop, trainees will spend some time volunteering and get support from a mentor to ensure they have the necessary experience for the role and are ready to hit the poolside well equipped to teach.

• Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub, WA2 8HE

Interviews will take place after applications close and an informal meet and greet will take place shortly after the closing date.

You don’t need any prior qualifications to apply as you will be supported through your training, although we are accepting applications from those who are halfway through their swimming teacher training or already have their level 1 or 2 qualifications.

A RLSS National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches (NRASTC) qualification or National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) is required for the role of a Swim Teacher at LiveWire. However, if candidates don’t hold either of these we will support them to attain the qualification at the earliest date possible after they have completed their Level 1.

Successful candidates will be asked to commit to a minimum of one weekday evening shift (Monday-Friday 4-7pm) and one weekend shift (Saturday or Sunday 9am-12noon)
