Sports Coach → Teaching Assistant Pathway

Pay: £92.63 per day
Hours: School hours, Monday–Friday (no weekends)

Are you a Sports Coach, Activity Leader, or Youth Worker looking to step into a school‑based Teaching Assistant role? If you love working with young people and want a stable, rewarding career in education, this Llanelli opportunity is the perfect next step.

This role uses your coaching background — confidence, communication, behaviour management, energy — and develops you into a classroom‑ready Teaching Assistant.

⭐ Why This Role Is Ideal for Sports Coaches

  • Use your existing skills while gaining new classroom experience
  • CPD Training and support provided
  • No planning, no marking
  • School hours only — evenings and weekends free

  • Supporting teachers in the classroom across a range of subjects
  • Working 1:1 or in small groups with pupils who need extra support
  • Helping manage behaviour using your coaching confidence
  • Assisting with classroom activities, resources, and learning tasks
  • Encouraging teamwork, resilience, and positive attitudes
  • Leading short activity breaks or movement‑based tasks when needed
  • Occasionally supporting PE lessons — but your main role is in class

Desirable Experience

  • Sports coaching in schools, clubs, camps, or community settings
  • Experience working with children or young people
  • Youth work, mentoring, or activity leadership
  • Strong communication and behaviour‑management skills
  • Ability to motivate and engage pupils
  • Confident, proactive, and positive attitude
  • Interest in progressing into Teaching Assistant, Learning Support, or Education roles

Who This Role Suits
