Employer Description:

Making waves in primary education.

Swim:ED is an innovative swimming programme transforming how primary schools approach swimming and water safety education.

We offer a safe, secure, high-quality solution delivered right on the school playground. Our innovative pop-up pool solution eliminates schools worries about lost learning time, staffing headaches, and meeting national curriculum requirements.

As part of the Swim:ED team, you’ll be making a huge impact on primary education, children’s water confidence and children’s ability to stay safe in and around water.

You’ll be part of the team delivering high-quality swimming provision at one school every 6-7 weeks, with small groups of primary-aged children swimming every day. The pool and team then move to the next school to continue the Swim:ED mission. At each pool there is one swim teacher and one lifeguard, with the Swim:ED team offering remote and face-to-face support to provide assistance and guidance.  
If helping children become confident and safe around water is for you, apply today.
