Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports charity is leading the fight for a future where young people are supported and empowered, whatever their challenges, through sport. We coach and mentor young people from deprived backgrounds because the crisis for children living in deprivation is real and it is urgent.
Our magic is the Greenhouse coach, sports coach, trained mentor and role-model combined. Over the last 2 decades these coaches have worked with more than 50,000 secondary school children in London to help them fulfil their potential. We run extracurricular breakfast, lunch and after‑school clubs at mainstream and special educational needs schools.
The Role
We are looking to recruit a qualified, skilled Table Tennis Coach Mentor to lead one of our new programmes. The role will be based at Saracens High School and will include planning and delivering a comprehensive high‑quality coaching and mentoring programme. Our programmes typically include a combination of non‑curricular breakfast, lunch and after‑school coaching sessions, one‑to‑one or small groups sessions (where agreed with the school) and develop regular competitive opportunities for all players. You will also be required to deliver half‑term and holiday camps during the school holidays.
As a Table Tennis Coach Mentor you will also work closely with the Impact Team to collect high‑quality data to demonstrate the effectiveness of what we do and to quantify the difference we make to our young people. Data is collected at designated times throughout the year and includes case studies, questionnaires, skills and fitness testing. Our coaches also regularly review the young people’s progress and set targets for their future development.
Greenhouse Sports is committed to Safeguarding & Child Protection and you will ensure that all policies and procedures are adhered to at all times and will maintain accurate records of all registered participants, staff and volunteers at all planned sessions.
