About the Role: Sport for Confidence is looking for enthusiastic and adaptable coaches to join our Bank Worker Scheme. Bank Coaches support our delivery teams across Essex, Havering and Waltham Forest by providing cover for sessions when required, such as during staff leave, sickness or additional programme delivery.
Sessions are delivered in partnership with Occupational Therapists and community partners, using physical activity to support people’s health, confidence and social participation.
This is a flexible, self-employed role, where coaches are contacted with available sessions and may choose to accept assignments based on their availability and travel preferences.
Key Responsibilities:
• Deliver safe, inclusive and engaging physical activity sessions for a range of participants.

• Support a welcoming and supportive environment that encourages participation and confidence.
• 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.
About Sport for Confidence: Sport for Confidence uses physical activity as a powerful tool to support health, wellbeing and social inclusion.
