An inspirational and enthusiastic Sports Coach is required to assist with our senior school groups during a Wednesday Games afternoon. The successful candidate will possess an excellent knowledge of Hockey, Netball and/or Cricket as well as coaching experience. The role will involve coaching during term time on a Wednesday afternoon (1.40 - 3.40pm). Taking teams to matches and umpiring will also be required on occasions.
This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with a clear passion for sport to assist our highly experienced PE department. Ideally you will have coached to a high standard and will possess a coaching certificate in either hockey, netball or cricket. Additionally, you will demonstrate an ability to motivate and challenge students. The ability to drive a school minibus is also advantageous as pupils need to be transported from school to fixtures, as well as offsite training facilities.
