Gym and Fitness Instructor
We are seeking an enthusiastic individual to supervise the school’s Fitness Suite. This position will take place after school during weekdays, term time only.
Key requirements of the role include:
* Work with the Director of Sport to ensure that pupils can use the Fitness suite during the after school sessions and potentially during some PE lessons as required by the curriculum; this will require the supervision of pupils, who will have already received an induction.
* Record and monitor safety checks of the gym equipment during working hours.
Hours will be primarily based on after school sessions; the information below is for illustration and may change depending on the timetable:
* Monday - Thursday 15:45-17:00 (5 hours); option for extra hours on a Thursday from 12:30
A successful candidate will need to be well informed and current in terms of knowledge about safe exercise practice for young people in a fitness suite environment and be experienced and confident in using a range of fitness room equipment. Experience of instructing in a fitness suite is highly desirable but not essential; all necessary training will be provided prior to the role commencing. For candidates with a level 2 fitness qualification there is potential for the role to be enhanced in scope / remuneration.
You will be conscientious and professional in all aspects of this position. Being trustworthy and reliable is of utmost importance.
