The Person

Who We’re Looking For

  • 1

    Enthusiastic & Reliable

    We're looking for someone who brings genuine enthusiasm to every session, takes pride in their work and can be relied upon to arrive prepared, organised and ready to deliver a positive experience for children.

  • 2

    Passionate About Sport

    You should have a genuine passion for sport and physical activity, with an understanding of how engaging activities can help children develop confidence, coordination, teamwork and a lifelong enjoyment of being active.

  • 3

    Confident & Engaging

    We want someone who can communicate confidently with children, maintain their attention and create energetic, enjoyable sessions that encourage everyone to participate, regardless of their ability or previous experience.

  • 4

    A Strong Team Player

    You'll work alongside experienced ASA coaches, so being approachable, supportive and willing to take feedback is important. You should be keen to learn, share ideas and develop your coaching skills as part of the wider team.

  • 5

    Child-Focused

    Above all, we're looking for someone who puts children first, understands the importance of patience and encouragement, and is committed to creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels valued.

Your Responsibilities

Safeguarding & Requirements

As this role involves working directly with children, safeguarding and children’s wellbeing are central to everything we do.

  • Enhanced DBS Check

    Applicants must hold, or be willing to obtain, an Enhanced DBS certificate with a Children's Barred List check, where the role is eligible.

  • Safeguarding Commitment

    Demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding and promoting children's welfare.

  • Professional Conduct

    Be professional, responsible and able to build positive relationships with children, parents and school staff.

Previous experience coaching or leading sports and physical activities for children is preferred. We’re looking for someone who understands how to engage and support children in a group setting and can confidently develop their skills through practical experience.

The successful candidate will initially have the opportunity to shadow an experienced ASA coach, gaining familiarity with our sessions, delivery approach and expectations before taking on greater responsibility.

Enthusiasm, reliability, confidence and a genuine willingness to learn and develop are equally important.

The appointment will be subject to appropriate safeguarding and pre-employment checks.
