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 Sport and Health Officer role is the perfect opportunity to understand the role of sport and physical activity in the Community, and as a coach with Live! you will be helping to run fully accessible and inclusive learning, personnel development and social activities for children, young people and adults with disabilities.
You will be leading sports, fitness, health and wellbeing activities across all groups and clubs including; ‘Active Live!’ commissioned Adult day service, ‘All Stars’ after school and holiday clubs for young people and supporting ‘Our Best Chance’ Cancer awareness & prevention programme and Live! inclusive adapted cycle project ‘Give it a Spin’ with support and guidance from the project managers in each area and disability support workers who will enable the members to fully engage.
Making best use of the municipal park in which we are based, you will have access to a cycle path, skate park, football pitches, MUGA outside and an activity hall / dance studio, training room with interactive SMARTBoard and sensory room / quiet space for delivery. The average day runs between 9.30am and 3.30pm on the Day Service and 330pm and 530pm for the afterschool club.
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)
- Working towards a level 3 Community Sport and Health Officer apprenticeship over the course of 12-18 months
We particularly welcome applicants from female, black, minority, neurodiverse, ethnic (BME) communities, disabled people and homosexual, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities, as they are currently underrepresented within the industry.
Desired Skills
No previous delivery experience is needed. An aptitude for sport & fitness is essential. Coaching experience a distinct advantage. Disability / neurodiversity awareness useful but not essential as full training will be given at induction.
Personal qualities
You will be fun! A people person, with a high degree of energy, creativity & empathy. You will possess good communication and be self-motivated with good organisation skills. Flexibility, patience and a great sense of humour are essential.
You will be able to work flexibly as part of a team, sharing ideas and experiences and are expected to attend and contribute to daily debrief, weekly staff meetings.
Qualifications required
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
If successful, this could lead to a full time, permanent role after completion of qualification.
