Working as part of a small and passionate team you will be supporting the delivery of our wide range of sports and activity clubs, primarily for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. During the school term our activities include football clubs, multi sports clubs, home education sports groups, PE support within the school environment, 121 sessions and a youth club. During the school holidays we offer a wide range of school holiday activities as well as 121 sessions and football clubs. Sport is a big part of our offer but we also offer a range of other activities that are enriching to service users and support the development of soft skills.
Your specific duties will include:
- Getting to know the young people at our sessions and building a rapport with both them and their parents / carers.
- Understanding the additional needs of our service users and working out how best to support these.
- Planning activities for sessions that are fun and engaging to the service user and appropriate to their needs.
- Delivering individual activities within a session and as your confidence increases whole sessions.
- Where we are delivering sessions on behalf of a partner organisation, build relationships with these 'session owners' and ensure you understand what they expect of us and our delivery.
- Support the marketing of our PMActive services and be an ambassador for our brand.
- Follow PMActive policies and procedures to ensure our sessions are safe and the welfare of attendees is at the forefront of what we do.
- Report any safeguarding concerns to a member of the PMActive management team as soon as these are identified.
We genuinely believe this is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable jobs available. But like all jobs it's not always easy! The British weather can be unpredictable and sometimes that means we get wet, or too hot! We also work in an environment that can be challenging and requires a lot of patience. It's not for everyone, but if like us you enjoy a challenge, it's very rewarding!
What your apprenticeship includes:
- A mixture of face to face and online catch ups every 4 - 6 weeks to discuss feedback and progress
- A mixture of on and off the job training, including workshops and webinars
- Reviews every 12 weeks with your Line Manager and apprenticeship Trainer
- The chance to get Functional Skills in English and maths (if you don’t already have GCSE)
As an apprentice with PMActive you will be studying towards a 15-month qualification that will be the Community Coach Activator Level 2 Apprenticeship
Desired Skills
We are looking for someone who has a natural love of sports and movement and wants to share this passion with others. Strong communication skills i.e. both listening and speaking are also essential tools for our work. We work remotely across the county of Surrey and as such a driving licence is preferable. Alternatively the ability / willingness to use public transport is essential.
Personal qualities
Our service users require individuals who work with them to be caring, empathetic and able to listen to and understand their needs. The ability to adapt plans so that they work for service users is also important.
PMActive is a small but very friendly and passionate team determined to do the best job possible. We are looking for someone who shares these qualities with us.
Qualifications required
We want you to learn in this role and therefore are not requiring any specific qualifications. However we are looking for applicants with some coaching experience and passing an Enhanced DBS check (which we will pay for) is also essential.
Future prospects
We are keen to work with you over the course of your apprenticeship to support your learning and give you the opportunities to develop your career. We do have high standards so if we meet people we like who can get the job done we're interested in exploring options for them to stay with us.
