Millfield boasts an exceptional reputation when it comes to swimming, encompassing our comprehensive student swim programmes, private lessons, and magnificent 50 and 25-meter pools. Our remarkable team of Duty Managers and pool facilities staff are integral to our continued success.

The roles

To maintain our high standards, we require Duty Manager applicants to hold a valid NPLQ certification, and ideally previous experience in lifeguarding and leadership (although this is not essential).

Experience in teaching both pre-school and school-age children is highly valued. The ideal applicant will possess a confident and outgoing demeanour, thrive in a collaborative team environment, and ideally have previous experience in a bustling swim school. Effective communication skills, along with the ability to plan, prepare, and deliver engaging lessons to children of various skill levels (from Duckling beginners to pre-squad levels), are essential.

We strongly believe in employee wellbeing and, as such, there are many benefits available, including:

• Freshly prepared lunches for just £10 per month
