After a phone conversation you may be asked to come in for a face to face interview with HR at a time which suits you.

Reference checks – The HR Officer will contact your references

You may or may not be offered a second interview.

If unsuccessful you will be informed via email.

If successful you will be offered an opportunity to train in the selected job role.

Once training is completed and the Blue Dolphin standards are met you will be offered employment (subject to availability)

We are looking for fun, passionate, confident people who love working with children and giving the customer the best possible experience and service.

For the Swim Teacher position no previous experience is necessary, as we will teach you how to become an extraordinary teacher.

For our Customer Service positions we do however require previous experience in a similar role.

All information that is collected during the recruitment process will not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any organisation during the recruitment process, unless required by or authorised by law. Your resume will be kept on file for 3 months after which time it will be disposed of and you will need to reapply for any future jobs.

The interview process is conducted in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. This is a chance for us to get to know and learn more about you. This is also a time for you to get to know us and learn about the industry. You will be asked a variety of different questions including your responses to a range of hypothetical scenarios.

The minimum age of employment differs across Australia, because each State/Territory has its own legislative rules. Click here to find out more information.

Many of our team initially join us with the view that this is “just a job until I get a real job once my Uni degree is completed”. However, after working in the industry they realise there are some great career opportunities on offer. At Blue Dolphin if you show the initiative you have the opportunity to train in other areas to continually learn new skills. These skills will not only benefit you at work, but will also give you skills for life.

From here, the prospects are endless. A number of our Swim teachers have elected to stay at Blue Dolphin long after their university degree has been completed. Consequently, they have turned their ‘job’ into a fulfilling career.

We are open 7 days a week with 4 weeks closure per calendar year (as well as public holidays). Preferably, we would like you to work a minimum of 3 shifts a week as we believe this amount of teaching exposure has proven it’ll make you to be the best teacher you can be. We will communicate with you in relation to your roster. We recognize the importance of work, life, balance.

We want our Swim teachers to be the best in the business. We require a minimum of 30 hours in water training, working with a variety of mentor teachers. An additional 10 hours of theory training is done out of the water. This is when we spend one on one time with you, encouraging the opportunity for questions and to cement the knowledge you are gaining in the water.

You are also required to obtain a DCSI Screening, along with a current CPR (the Customer Service position requires Provide First Aid) and a Government recognised swimming qualification (AUSTSWIM, Active Training, SAT)

We have a number of different positions, please see below a brief overview of these:
