The Role
We are recruiting for a temporary Lifeguard/Administrator. The post is available for an immediate start subject to satisfactory references/clearances. The contract will run until the end of Term 3 (12 February 2027) in the first instance.
As our Lifeguard, you will be working alongside our team of friendly and well-motivated PE teachers. The successful applicant will play a very important role in ensuring the smooth and safe delivery of swimming lessons. The role will include relevant departmental tasks.
As a member of our Administration Support Team, you will provide comprehensive administrative support to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the school. This includes delivering high-quality support across general office functions.
The successful candidate will be well organised, resilient, resourceful, and understand the need for confidentiality, with excellent attention to detail. We are ideally seeking a qualified lifeguard to start as soon as possible; however, we would fund a lifeguarding qualification for the right candidate.

This post is graded Bristol Grade 6 (BG6), term time only plus 5 INSET days. The salary for this job will start at point 6 of the BG6 range, i.e. £26,847 gross (paid pro rata plus holiday pay).
