Work For Us
At SSG we acknowledge that our staff are at the very centre of our organisation and as such we are continuously looking to recruit new wonderful people to join team SSG!
Our organisation is split into two main areas – Operational Delivery and Operational Support and as such we recruit with this in mind!
Operational Delivery
We have 2 delivery departments within SSG that we look to recruit a range of positions for. Our department areas are:
- Activities & Events
- Training & Education

Within each department area we look for the following positions:
Volunteer – This is the SINGLE best route to employment in any industry – demonstrate your ability, professionalism, motivation and commitment directly to us and put yourself in prime position for paid employment as well as developing your own skills.
Assistant Instructors – We have assistant positions available in all of our departments, assistant instructors work alongside main instructors to deliver high quality sessions and support the enjoyment, participation and understanding of groups. It is a great way of learning your trade and developing the skills required to lead.
Instructors – We employ instructors based around a number of key factors.
- We look first and foremost at the individual. Enthusiasm, zest for life and activity, self-motivation, bubbly personalities, pride in personal achievement and energy are all key traits to be a success with SSG.
- Next we take in to account the persons experience and qualifications – it should be noted that our robust and comprehensive CPD and in house training packages means that we can work with individuals to quickly progress them from assistant to Instructor.
- DBS – all of our staff will need to have a full and current DBS check. We can provide this for you should you require one but there is a fee involved.
- Mobility – The vast majority of our work is done mobile meaning that by being able to transport yourself to different venues with your own transport is a massive advantage.
Programme Coordinators – Our extensive range of programmes mean that we employ a team of coordinators to coordinate programme areas. Coordinator positions can be standalone non-contact positions or combined with instructing hours depending on the size of the programmes being coordinated. Coordinators should:
- Have an excellent knowledge of the programme area
- Have experience of leading individuals and teams
- Have an excellent eye for detail
- Be driven to take steps towards management and responsibility
Operations Managers – We employ operations managers across all of our departments to oversee coordinators and look to develop and improve our delivery within the department. Operations Managers can be appointed internally as progression routes as well as employed directly. Operations Managers should have a long standing track record of working within the industry, be highly motivated to manage others, be keen to develop and instil new ideas.
Operational Support
Within our operational support department we look to employ the following roles:
Office Admin Apprentices – We support a range of apprenticeship providers in offering administrative apprenticeship positions.
Office Juniors – We employ office juniors to give support to our team with basic office skills and provide opportunity to develop additional office based skills and knowledge. A basic knowledge of Microsoft office is advantageous.
Office Administrators – We have a team of administrators, whose responsibilities involve taking customer bookings, dealing with phone and email enquiries and supporting our delivery teams with administrative procedures and tasks. A sound knowledge of Microsoft Office is required as well as excellent inter personal skills and a hunger to learn more and retain information.
Customer Account Coordinators – We employ a team of account coordinators with responsibility for maintaining on-going communications with our customers to ensure all programmes that we deliver are backed up by excellent levels of customer service. An excellent eye for detail, outstanding interpersonal skills and the ability to work independently to follow existing systems are all key to succeeding.

What Do Our Customers Think?
Thank you for making our residential experience very fun and memorable.
Thank you for the opportunity of a lifetime, teaching us to live in the wild. I really enjoyed the time and memories I had.
I had the time of my life sleeping in a tent with friends and the activities.
The residential was the "funnest" 3 days of my life
The residential was amazing because the activities were fun. It was a massive experience for me and the other children. I challenged myself to do the things I had never done before.
The residential was fun and I would really like to go again next year.
I had a fantastic time!
Thank you for being kind and helpful towards me and for being a kind leader. My group all said that you were kind and I would like to say thank you again for an amazing 3 days.
Absolutely loved it and got him out in the fresh air!
Thank you for having me during the summer holidays.
Madison loves coming to holiday club. She always cant wait to come back and gets really excited when she is coming. It is great peace of mind to know how much she enjoys it and I have recommended it to friends.
A huge thank you for an excellent party. All the boys loved it and our son said it was the best birthday party ever. It was all really well organised and the leader was brilliant.
After the first lesson with Georgie and Shanesh, Lois was made to feel so special and that she could do anything! She has overcome her fear of jumping in and really looks forward to her swimming lessons. So very grateful to the instructors and they are to be praised for their efforts. Every other swim school in Bedford should be closed down and Fish2Water should take over!
My granddaughter has very much enjoyed her lessons over the last couple of years and thanks to the teachers she is now able to swim.
Teacher Ben was fantastic. He was so patient and brilliant with the kids. Both Hannah and Marcus really enjoyed their lessons.
Very happy with the lessons. Ella loves coming and is learning so much, Ben and Balve are just fantastic.
Oscar and Naomi are being taught by Emma who is absolutely superb with them. It is a pleasure to watch. Their swimming and confidence in the water is gaining weekly.
The instructors are lovely, the smaller classes are brilliant and the instructors being in the pool really helps.
Thanks for a fantastic year of swimming. Thomas has learnt so much and come on such a long way since he first started earlier this year. You have a great team of workers.
Kats mannerisms, patience and professionalism with her class is the best I have ever seen.
Wanted to communicate about my fantastic experience with the starfish class. The class was run by Cat who from beginning to end made the class not only fun for the kiddies but knowledgeable for the adults. In a 30 minute class I learnt 3 new techniques to use when swimming with my son.
Thank you Georgie and your team for the swimming lessons Ronnie has received as a result he is a very confident boy in the water.
Both Sophie and Mikey have loved their 6 years of swimming with you – Sophie from a baby. Your lessons have given them a love of swimming and a true confidence in the water. If they do go on to swim at club level then this will be because of the amazing foundations that you have laid down with your classes.
Jack thoroughly enjoyed his booster week during the holidays. I was so impressed with the friendly and competent staff, so much so that I booked Jack to start swimming every week.
I thought the trainer was outstanding, activities shown will be extremely helpful in my job.
Excellent, thank you. An enjoyable two days.
My son took part in the leadership academy and absolutely loved it, he gained his Sports Leadership qualification and cannot wait to carry on his learning, he now wants to volunteer to coach younger age groups!
My boys both love going to kidzsize in the holidays.
My 13 week old is taking swimming lessons. They are great and he is so loving it. Many thanks.
These people are the best at what they do, they take each child as an individual & help them learn!
My son loves battlefield live. Thanks to all the staff!!
I just wanted to say how amazing the Battlefield Live Birthday party was for my sons 10th birthday. From the moment the instructor came over and introduced himself to us and the boys I knew it would be fantastic. His exuberance, charisma and sense of humour were brilliant. The boys bonded with him within minutes and loved every second.
The course was superb and provided me with a wonderful foundation for teaching. Although I have been working in education for some time I learned lots of new things. It was flexible and fitted around my current job. I found it very well organised and the tutor was always on hand for additional support where I required it she really went over and above where required.
Very pleased with fish to water taken my little girl who was nervous about swimming to being fearless going under and singing the catchy tunes round the house!
Absolutely loved the course was buzzing afterwards. Learnt so much.
We are delighted to have been able to support both local authority organisations and individual schools to provide this programme of support for school staff. Schools that have invested in their staff have seen instant benefit and budget saving around external outsourcing. I really enjoyed the course. The fact that most of it was practical was great. Lots of ideas to take back to school and try to implement.
The partnership has been a refreshingly different experience of networking for us and has provided us with a number of excellent links for us to develop our business as well as have a great time with the rest of the members at the events!!
I would recommend anybody or company that if they need to go on a course to get in contact with SSG. It is great value for money, you will come away not only with your certificate, but the knowledge of knowing how to deal with someone in a situation where they need medical help.
SSG have worked with a host of local authorities, Job Centres and Funding Management Organisations to develop and deliver programmes over the last 10 years and have worked with over 3000 participants to support them move closer to the jobs market within that time. We have been delighted with the Industry Challenge programme that has been designed by SSG’s team and delivered to meet the needs of a specific group of over 50 young people within Bedford Borough. SSG have been professional and focused on maintaining our programme funding outcomes whilst making the course a really exciting and different experience for the participants. We would highly recommend their services. October 2015
