He angitūtanga: The opportunity

Here at Auckland Council, our leisure centres play a vital role in achieving our vision of making Auckland the most active city in the world. We’re looking for part-time Learn to Swim Instructors to join our Pool and Leisure Centre teams across Auckland and help bring this vision to life.

Based at Stanmore Bay Pool and Leisure Centre, this is a fantastic opportunity to gain a formal qualification while teaching people the fundamental principles of swimming. You’ll help create a fun, caring, and safe environment for our customers and visitors and we’ll provide all the training you need to succeed in the role.

This is a permanent part-time 7 hours per week role. Shifts below: 

• Tuesday and Thursday (3.15pm-6.45pm) 

You will be required to attend a two‑week training programme, Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm.

You bring strong customer service skills and can communicate clearly and confidently with people from all walks of life. Most importantly, you’re passionate about working with our diverse community and making a positive difference through what you do.

If you already hold a recognised swim teaching qualification or have previous experience as a Swimming Instructor, that’s fantastic but it’s not essential. We provide full, comprehensive training to support your success in the role. You’ll also need to be willing to complete First Aid training.

What we’re looking for:
