Join to apply for the Relief Senior Coach role at Midnight Mixtape.
Outdoors as part of Live Life Aberdeenshire/Aberdeenshire Council are seeking experienced individuals to join our team as Senior Coaches on a Relief basis and deliver the Mountain Biking element of our established Cycle Programme "Bringing the bike to you." We have one Relief post available as part of this recruitment phase.
Based in Inverurie, the successful candidates will be part of the wider Outdoor Team and will deliver a range of Mountain Biking activity-based cycling sessions to Primary/Secondary pupils, community events, and event support across Aberdeenshire.
This role is to ensure that our expanding programme provides high-quality and progressive sessions, using our dedicated fleet of Mountain Bikes alongside a wide range of additional equipment and options that allow us to create sessions that go beyond simply riding a bike. It will involve planning and delivering sessions in terrain suitable for Mountain Biking and conducting the respective Risk Assessments.
The programme aligns with national training programmes, aiming to ensure enjoyable and safe sessions that boost children's confidence and enjoyment of cycling. The focus on Mountain Biking supports the wider development of the activity across Aberdeenshire and Scotland.
Candidates must be qualified to National Governing Body level in Mountain Biking or hold a similar/transferrable accredited qualification. Training will be provided to cover all aspects of delivery, focusing on both weekdays and weekends with occasional evening work.
The post holder should demonstrate a commitment to quality service delivery through continuous improvement for the benefit of the Service and the organisation.
Experience of driving with a trailer would be beneficial.
