Coach Core’s vision is to drive social mobility through apprenticeships and sport, so that every young person can reach their true potential and inspire those around them. Since our launch in 2012, we have worked with over 150 of the biggest sports providers, youth clubs and charities in the country, supporting over 500 young people.
The Community Activator Coach role is the perfect opportunity to understand the role of sport and physical activity in the Community, and as an apprentice instructor at Volume 1 you will be:
-Providing a variety of creative, engaging and functional warm ups
-Delivering one off sessions and regular weekly clubs to the highest standard
-Kids clubs – being able to successfully incorporate the use of the kids Log Book into the club sessions to monitor progression
-Complete training and follow safeguarding guidelines and protocol
-Assisting with the development of instructed sessions programme where necessary
-Providing high energy, engaging and progressive experiences for kids and adults alike
-Feeding back suggestions and improvements to the instructed session programme
-Maintaining highest safety levels of all customers
-A desire to build and improve upon your existing instructing skillset
-Be keen to develop and improve your own climbing skills and participate regularly in the sport
-Potential for introductory route setting experience if desired
During quiet times, or when there are no instructed sessions running, you may also be required to assist with reception, café and shop.
What your apprenticeship includes:
-A mixture of face to face and online catch ups every 4 - 6 weeks to discuss feedback and progress
-A mixture of on and off the job training, including workshops and webinars
-Reviews every 12 weeks with your Line Manager and apprenticeship Trainer
-The chance to get Functional Skills in English and maths (if you don’t already have GCSE)
We particularly welcome applicants from female, black, minority, ethnic (BME) communities, disabled people and homosexual, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities, as they are currently underrepresented within our workforce.
You will work towards your community activator coach l2 qualification over the course of 12-18 months
Desired Skills
As the role will be customer facing we are looking for an individual that is friendly and welcoming to all of our customers as this is something that we really pride ourselves on. Any previous climbing experience is great but not a necessity providing that the candidate is willing to learn and develop their own personal climbing skills.
Personal qualities
Our mission statement as a company is to provide a premium experience that is accessible and inclusive to everyone. We want someone who will be able to help us deliver this and be a positive contribution to our team.
A friendly welcoming personality that is able to speak to people of all ages.
Qualifications required
No qualifications are required for this role- a successful applicant will complete our in house site specific qualification, external safe guarding qualification, and opportunity for other qualifications based on their areas of interest.
Missed out on getting your Maths and English GCSE’s? Don’t worry- you can still apply but you will need to complete Functional Skills Level 2 before you finish the apprenticeship. Our Learning Coaches can support you with this so don’t let this put you off!
Future prospects
Many of our staff who are with us have been promoted up through the ranks to more senior positions.
As a growing business we are always looking for those who show passion for self development and this will be rewarded.
As a family business we want to take people on our journey who share our vision of what Volume 1 can be for our community and hope to be able to take this candidate with us.
