We’re looking for an enthusiastic and proactive Sports Coordinator to plan, deliver and coordinate a high-quality programme of sport, physical activity and fitness-based enrichment opportunities that enhance student engagement, wellbeing and participation across the college group.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about sport and student wellbeing to make a real difference.

We have full-time and term-time only + 3 weeks roles available. Please state your preference in your supporting statement.

• Relevant qualification in youth work, education, wellbeing willing to work towards one
• Level 3 qualification in sports related personal training

In return, we offer a competitive salary, as well as staff benefits such as an excellent pension scheme, generous holiday package, free onsite parking and access to our fully equipped gym along with discounted in house Spa and Salon treatments. 

*Applications will however be shortlisted on a rolling basis and we reserve the right to interview and appoint before this closing date.  We therefore encourage you to apply at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment. As much as we would love to respond to all applicants, due to the sheer volume of applications we receive we are unable to respond to all unsuccessful candidates.
