Swimming Teacher & Lifesaving Instructor

The Physical Education department is looking to recruit an experienced swimming coach to run our KEHS swimming squads and Lifesaving Club. Currently, the KEHS swim club and Lifesaving sessions run at lunchtimes and after school. The swimming teams compete in such events as the Warwick 50s and the Bromsgrove relays, as well as the ESSA events. The Lifesaving club has over 50 members across the school and they compete in Rookie competitions as well as work towards their lifesaving and personal survival qualifications. 

Outside of the extracurricular sessions, the successful participant would be expected to support weaker swimmers in the curriculum lessons, with the aim being that all pupils at KEHS are confident swimmers by the time they leave. There is also scope for the position to support our sports outreach programme. This involves supporting local primary schools to deliver their swimming programme using our facilities.

How to apply:

If you wish to be considered for this post, please complete an application form (available for download at: www.kehs.org.uk/useful-information/vacancies) giving full details of your qualifications and experience and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of two referees and send it, together with a letter to the Principal outlining the reasons for your application (maximum 2 sides of A4 please). 

The deadline for applications is 9am on Wednesday 25th May. Early applications are most welcome. Depending on the number of applications received, we reserve the right to bring the deadline forward.
