Become the Aquatics Programmer
The new Aquatics Programmer will be leading a large group of staff in the delivery of exceptional swim programs both at the Leisure Centre and seasonally at the outdoor pool. At times you’ll be on deck mentoring and supporting our staff team, in the water teaching and leading in-service training or in the filter room, conducting a pool reading. The Aquatic Programmer position is an administrative role, however in aquatics it’s not unusual to require ‘all hands on deck,” and the successful applicant must be a versatile team player.
This position is especially exciting as the successful candidate will have a key leadership role in recruitment and training of new lifeguard/instructors and the facilitation of new operating procedures in the re-opening of the newly renovated Leisure Centre.
