Swinton Lock Activity Centre is a trusted safe space, committed to delivering emotional, social and wellbeing services, which are community led.
We are based adjacent to the South Yorkshire Navigational Canal and own two narrow boats, one of which is fully accessible. Both boats are used to offer boat-handling courses, volunteering opportunities and pleasure trips to both children and adults.
What we Do
Swinton Lock Activity Centre provides an extensive range of activities and support for both young and old.
Room Hire
Our location, facilities and ample parking also make Swinton Lock an ideal location for meetings, conferences and parties.
Boat Trips & Training
Join our experienced crew for a relaxing cruise along the canal. Learn how to skipper the boat and manage locks.
Open Days
We also hold regular open days where you can come to meet the staff and sample many of the activities we have to offer.
📣We have an exciting opportunity to join our well-established and supportive team at Swinton Lock Activity Centre.
This role will be responsible for supporting our children, young people, and adults and families.
We are looking for a highly motivated individual who is committed to supporting our current service users and members of our community.
You must have a good understanding of the issues faced by children, young people and families and be able to demonstrate the skills needed to motivate and inspire them to reach their potential.
The successful candidates will have excellent verbal and written communication skills and a commitment to equal opportunities. We would like you to have a full UK driving license and access to a vehicle with appropriate business insurance cover during working hours – but this is desirable and not essential.

The postholder will be expected to work flexibly within the agreed hours. This may be reviewed from time to time to ensure services are accessible to all and meet their needs. This will involve some evening and weekend work.
