Community Coach – Cross Programmes
This Community Coach – Cross Programmes role is an opportunity to make a difference across a wide range of City in the Community programmes. Working with children, young people and communities across Manchester, you will provide flexible, high-quality delivery wherever it is needed most.
Who We Are
Established in 1986, City in the Community is Manchester City’s official charity. We support people across Manchester by empowering healthier lives through football. Our programmes place physical and mental wellbeing at their core, whilst also creating healthy futures and healthy communities.
Across our Education and Community programmes, we use sport, education and positive engagement to support people of different ages, backgrounds and abilities. From schools and education settings to community-based programmes, our teams work across Greater Manchester to create inclusive experiences that help participants develop, achieve and thrive.
The Role
You will provide flexible delivery support across a range of City in the Community programmes, helping to maintain high-quality provision during periods of staff absence or increased delivery demand.
Day to day, you could be delivering across programmes including Early Years, Primary Stars, Inspires, BTEC and Outreach. You will work closely with programme Officers to plan and deliver engaging, inclusive and safe sessions that meet the needs of different participants and programme objectives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Alongside delivery, you will build positive relationships with participants, schools and community partners, support the monitoring of attendance and programme outcomes, and ensure safeguarding and organisational policies are consistently embedded across your work.
What You'll Bring
- A minimum NGB Level 2 Coaching qualification in a relevant sport (excluding dodgeball).
- Experience working with children, young people or different groups within the community.
- Experience planning and delivering high-quality, inclusive coaching or education sessions.
- The flexibility and confidence to adapt quickly across different programmes, participants and delivery environments.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to manage delivery and administration across multiple projects.
- A full clean UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
Why Choose Us
Guided by our values of being caring, inclusive, transformative and youth-led, we are committed to creating an environment where our team feel supported, valued and able to make a meaningful difference through the work they do every day.
