As a Pilates instructor, your primary responsibility is to lead and facilitate Pilates classes for adults of all abilities. You will design and execute safe, effective, and engaging workouts tailored to accommodate various fitness levels, ranging from beginners to advanced practitioners. Your role involves providing clear verbal cues and demonstrations to guide participants through Pilates exercises, emphasizing proper alignment, breathing techniques, and mindful movement.
Additionally, you'll create a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals feel empowered to challenge themselves while respecting their own limitations. Your job entails offering modifications and adjustments to ensure that each participant can fully benefit from the session while minimizing the risk of injury.
You'll also be responsible for monitoring participants' progress, providing feedback, and addressing any questions or concerns they may have regarding Pilates techniques or practices. Collaborating with other fitness professionals and staying updated on industry trends and best practices is essential to continuously enhance the quality of instruction and meet the diverse needs of your clients.
Although a teaching qualification is an advantage, training opportunities exist within the College and we can support you in gaining your Award in Education and Training Level 3 Qualification (AET), within your first year of joining the college.
This role may be eligible for the ‘Taking Teaching Further (TTF)’ programme, which supports professionals as they move into teaching in the further education sector. Support from the TTF programme can include an initial reduction in teaching workload and enrolment onto teacher training.
In return, Abingdon & Witney College offer excellent benefits to our employees including generous pension and holiday schemes (with potential Christmas closure days), continued professional development, flexible working options, corporate gym membership, cycle/tech scheme and much more.
