Casual Swimming Instructor

Advert

East Renfrewshire Culture & Leisure Ltd are looking for swimming instructors to add to their bank of casual workers.

Our swimming programme offers a variety of opportunities to all who want to be involved in the sport. As well as our popular Scottish Swimming Learn to Swim programme, we offer a range of coach-led aqua activities and swimming lessons for adults, children and adults with disabilities.

Initially work will be allocated on a strictly casual basis and you will be asked to work hours, without commitment, to suit the requirements of the service. Due to the success of our swimming programmes there is a strong possibility that posts will become permanent during the first few months.
