Job Summary

We are looking for enthusiastic, reliable and experienced School Sports Coaches to join our team delivering high-quality sports sessions in primary schools.

The main focus of the role will be delivering after-school sports clubs, with coaches travelling to different schools to provide fun, engaging and well-organised sessions for primary-aged children.

Additional hours may also be available through wraparound care, holiday camps and some PE delivery, making this a great opportunity for coaches looking to build a regular programme of work across the school week.

Pay

  • Managing groups of children safely and confidently

  • Encouraging participation, teamwork and positive behaviour

  • Ensuring sessions are well organised and appropriately challenging

While the main role is delivering school sports and after-school clubs, additional hours may be available through:

  • Breakfast and after-school wraparound care

  • School holiday camps

  • PE and curriculum sports delivery

  • Other children's sports programmes

This can provide opportunities for coaches looking for more regular hours alongside their core school coaching timetable.
