Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

Coach Core’s vision is to drive social mobility through apprenticeships and sport, so that every young person can reach their true potential and inspire those around them. Since our launch in 2012, we have worked with over 150 of the biggest sports providers, youth clubs and charities in the country, supporting over 500 young people.

With Star player, you will:

  • Lead and assist in coaching multi-sports clubs for preschool, primary, and secondary school-aged children.
  • Deliver engaging and age-appropriate coaching sessions.
  • Provide a safe and supportive environment for all participants.
  • Support the planning and execution of coaching activities, sports activities and games.
  • Coach during holiday camps, providing a fun and safe environment for participants.
  • Participate in training and development opportunities to improve your skills
  • Understand safeguarding standards

The role will involve a certain amount of travel as the sessions can be anywhere in Surrey, so having a driving licence and access to your own car would be ideal.

We particularly welcome applicants from female, black, minority, ethnic (BME) communities, disabled people and homosexual, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities, as they are currently underrepresented within our workforce.

The apprenticeship will enable successful candidates to start an unrivalled 15-month programme of learning, gaining meaningful qualifications and have full support and mentoring based on your individual needs. Successful applicants will be offered full-time employment with a recognised physical activity or sports-based employer, earning a wage whilst also working towards the Level 2 Community Activator Coach qualification, as well as a whole host of additional learning opportunities. In addition, whilst employed directly by one organisation, there will also be access to a range of events, training opportunities and other experiences through the other supportive employers.
