Are you a qualified Level 2 sports coach who enjoys working with children and young people? Do you want to gain more experience coaching in a multi-sport setting?
Our Sport & Physical Activity team are seeking experienced coaches from all sporting backgrounds to help deliver multi sports camps for Key Stage 1 & 2 children during the 2025 Easter & Summer breaks. Our multi sports camps will take place at the Edge where children aged 5-11 years will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports including football, racquet sports, climbing & swimming. You will gain valuable experience facilitating sport & supervising children of a variety of ages and abilities.
As a Camp Leader, you will need:
1. A minimum Level 2 sport-specific coaching qualification in any sport (or PE teaching qualifications & experience).
2. Experience of leading the delivery of fun and inclusive sports activities for children.
Camp Leaders will plan & deliver age-appropriate activities for children in a variety of sports with the support of Camp Assistants. Camp Leaders will have overarching responsibility for their assigned group, their activities and schedule and will also oversee the work of their assigned Camp Assistants. Camp Leaders will also support the Camp Manager with the organisation and implementation of the camps from drop off to pick up, including taking registers, supervising lunchtime and breaks, escorting children to specialist activities such as swimming & climbing, ensuring health & safety of all participants at all times and maintaining high standards of engagement and behaviour throughout.

Camps will run from 8am-5.15pm daily Monday to Friday. Staffing ratios for any given day will be determined by the number of children we have attending so flexible working patterns may be achievable.
