Job description
Sports Coach to SEND Classroom
Turn Your Skills into a Career That Truly Matters
You've motivated, inspired and built confidence through sport - now imagine doing that every single day in a classroom.
We're looking for sports coaches, PE assistants and youth activity leaders ready to transfer their skills into SEND school settings across Sefton. If you thrive on teamwork, structure and positive impact, this could be the role that changes everything.
You'll be supporting children with autism, learning difficulties and social or emotional needs, helping them build confidence, communication and resilience - often through movement, routine and encouragement (the things you already do best).
Why your sports background is a perfect fit
-You know how to engage, motivate and inspire
-You understand routine, boundaries and teamwork
-You bring energy, patience and empathy into every session
-You can use physical activity to build trust, confidence and connection
-You stay calm under pressure and celebrate progress - big or small
What's in it for you?
-Term-time only hours (Monday-Friday, school hours)
-Local placements across Liverpool
-Ongoing training and SEND-specific development
-A genuine chance to see your skills change lives every day
-A strong pathway into education or teacher training if that's your goal
Whether you're looking for a fresh challenge, a more meaningful role, or a long-term route into education, this is your chance to use everything you love about sport - encouragement, structure and growth - to help children reach their full potential.
