It is important that potential candidates are enthusiastic about developing active children, bringing fun and exciting ideas to the team. We're looking for great communication skills, lots of energy and a proactive leadership style that will positively enhance children's experience of sport and physical activity. Applicants need to be passionate about physical activity and know how to have fun – if the coaches are having fun, so are the children.

We welcome applications from those who thrive on new challenges and the opportunity to make change, while demonstrating empathy and understanding of challenges and barriers to participation. The successful candidate should hold a level 2 national governing body coaching certificate and be capable to lead sessions independently.

The successful candidate will have knowledge and experience of creating and delivering high quality engaging activity sessions and working collaboratively with partners. They will work closely with organisations and communities to improve participation across the district.
