• Work collaboratively with Occupational Therapists and the wider delivery team.
• Follow safeguarding, health and safety and organisational policies during session delivery.
• Provide feedback and session registers where required.

Activities delivered may include multisport, boccia, football, dance, netball and other inclusive physical activities.

What We’re Looking For:
• Passion for inclusive sport and physical activity.
• Experience delivering coaching or physical activity sessions.
• Ability to communicate effectively and build positive relationships with participants.
• Confidence working with diverse communities, including disabled people and/ or those with long-term health conditions.
• Reliable, adaptable and enthusiastic approach to delivery.

Requirements:
• Relevant coaching or activity leadership qualification.
• Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one).
• Public Liability Insurance (for self-employed coaches).
• Ability to work on a self-employed basis.

Working Arrangements:
• Flexible bank role with no guaranteed hours.
• Coaches are contacted with available sessions and can accept or decline assignments.
• Sessions typically take place Monday–Friday between 9am–5pm.
• Payment is made per hour of delivery.
