Key Stage One (KS1) Coach
Known as Red Tops, our KS1 Coaches lead and bring to life fun activities for children aged 5 to 7. Each coach is either assigned their own group of 8 children or joins another coach to support a group of 16. Activities include tennis, badminton, cricket, swimming, and more, with sessions lasting 30-60 minutes. Coaches report to the Camp Manager and are encouraged to demonstrate 'Active Coaching' — providing high-energy, inclusive, and fun activity sessions that engage every child, regardless of ability.
Child safety is our top priority. Coaches supervise children during breaks, participate in swimming sessions, oversee equipment use, record incidents promptly, implement behaviour management policies, and uphold health and safety standards.
If you're seeking a rewarding opportunity to gain experience working with children outside of school, stay active, and have fun, we may have the perfect role for you!
