Football & Entertainments Coach

Overview

We are seeking enthusiastic, outgoing individuals to join the team in our rapidly expanding children's sports / activity based business within a sports and entertainment coach role.

We have a number of roles within the Leighton Buzzard, Bedford and areas in between and surrounding.

Successful candidates must be able to work Saturday mornings 8.45am - 12.15pm, but additionally some weekday mornings are a possibility for further hours. These roles are on part-time basis only (4 - 20 hours per week).

The roles would suit individuals looking to work around either childcare commitments, a college / higher education course or simply to bolster their existing earnings with extra hours.

No previous coaching, teaching or child care experience is required, but it would be highly beneficial to have hands-on experience in the entertainment / care of children aged 1-5, or to have a background in performing arts.

Ideal candidates will possess a naturally outgoing and fun personality, bags of energy and an ability to connect with and be a role model for children.

Your experience and capability would directly affect the level of responsibility and remuneration offered. However, real opportunities exist to grow earnings in line with your success.
