  • Assist with lesson supervision and help maintain continuity during staff absence
  • Contribute to an inclusive school culture where every pupil feels supported and valued

Sports Coach Requirements:

  • Experience in sports coaching, mentoring, fitness instruction, or youth work
  • Ability to motivate and inspire young people through positive role modelling
  • Confidence managing behaviour in structured group environments
  • Flexible approach to supporting learning across different subjects and classrooms
  • Strong teamwork, communication, and organisational skills
  • Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply)

  • Have an up-to-date CV with two relevant references from within the last two years.
  • Have an enhanced DBS registered to the Update Service or be willing to apply for one through GSL Education.
