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

The job will involve supporting multi sports and cricket coaching sessions at Primary School locations, and cricket clubs, across Berkshire.

These sessions may include after school or breakfast clubs, cricket club nights and holiday camps, and private 1 to 1 cricket sessions.

The apprentice role would support the lead coach in delivery of these sessions .

There would be a period of shadowing sessions where the successful candidate would see all of the sessions in action , and we would grow the role and responsibility after an initial induction period of between 1 – 3 months.

The apprenticeship is based on a 12–18-month work-based training programme and you will be studying towards your Community Activator Coach Level 2 Apprenticeship qualification.

The apprenticeship is delivered through blended learning such as:

  • One-one/remote visits; these will be with your Learning Coach at your place of work – discuss no college visits.
  • You will have access to our learning platform Aptem, which is an online resource bespoke to your course and modules.
  • Off-the-job training: Your Coach will discuss this with you and your manager to plan throughout your apprenticeship.
  • You will have mock assessments before entering your End Point Assessment and will only do so when ready.
