Community Activator Coach Apprenticeship L2 including Functional Skills in Maths and English
You must be enthusiastic about wanting to work within the sport and physical activity sector and be committed to inspiring others to be more physically active. No prior coaching experience is required, but a willingness to learn, work hard and challenge yourself is essential. Being able to work well with children is a must!
There are several avenues in which you can progress within Bristol Sport Foundation. The direction of progression is always supported by your mentor but is also largely self-led. We are eager to help individuals who show consistently strong work ethic to excel in their areas of passion by providing training, additional responsibilities, as well potentially more paid hours and/or salary increments to match. Over the last few years, we have employed several apprentices to become full time coaches with Bristol Sport Foundation.
Bristol Sport Foundation have partner schools across Greater Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, and North Somerset. It is therefore desirable for applicants to be able to drive and have access to a vehicle. It is not a barrier to employment with BSF if you do not have access to a vehicle that you can drive. However, applicants should be aware that they will be required to use public transport to get to a range of schools across all the different areas we reach. To try and support those who don't have a vehicle, we look to (where possible) place individuals in schools near to where they live and/or coordinate transport with other coaches who can provide lifts to the schools. Expenses are also provided for select journeys.
