Job Description
What we are looking for :
We’re looking for someone who’s ready to dive into a dynamic role at the Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre, working closely with our Programs Coordinator to deliver inclusive, high-quality aquatic programs. You’ll plan and lead Learn to Swim sessions for all ages and abilities, while helping to shape and improve our offerings through thoughtful feedback and community engagement. You’ll be a key connection point with local groups, helping raise awareness and support access for infants, adults, CALD and Access & Inclusion clients. You’ll assist with rostering, school bookings, and program reporting, keeping records accurate and equipment ready to go. You’ll supervise participants with care, educate patrons on safe aquatic practices, and contribute to staff development and community events. If you’re proactive, organised, and passionate about making a difference through water-based programs, we’d love to have you on board!
You’ll bring a strong blend of passion, professionalism, and people-focused energy to this role. As an experienced instructor, you confidently deliver swimming and water safety lessons or lead aqua aerobics for participants of all ages and abilities. You have a calm, supportive presence and the ability to assess progress, tailor development plans, and help individuals build their confidence in the water. With excellent communication and interpersonal skills, you naturally form positive relationships with colleagues, families, and the broader community. You’re organised, approachable, and computer-literate, always listening well and responding with care. Safety is at the heart of your work, and you supervise patrons with professionalism, handling situations in alignment with Royal Life Saving practices. As a role model, you educate users on aquatic safety and respectful behaviour in a friendly but firm manner. You’re flexible and reliable, happy to work early mornings, evenings, and weekends.
Must Have : AUSTSWIM Teacher of Swimming & Water Safety, AUSTSWIM Teacher of Infants & Preschoolers, Aqua Instructor Certificate, Royal Life Saving Pool Lifeguard Certificate, Provide First Aid & CPR, and a Working with Children Clearance (Ochre Card).
