Role Description
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.

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.
