Hello everyone,

Please share!

I am looking for someone local in Birtley to assist with the current Aqua intro/Rehab class at Birtley Community Pool.

Instructing low intensity exercises to aid joint mobility, strength, and balance, this is a great opportunity to get involved with the local community, and gain experience in class-based rehab.

- Mid-week morning/afternoon availability preferred.
- Ideal for students/physio/sports therapist, but not required.

If you're interested or know someone who might be, drop me a message.

-Jason
