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 Apprentice Dance and Multi-Sports Coach will support the delivery of inclusive and engaging activities across Bradford Bulls Community Foundation programmes, with a particular focus on dance and the Luvabulls recreational dance group.
The role will support and lead weekly Luvabulls sessions, creating a welcoming environment where participants of different ages and abilities can develop their dance skills, confidence, teamwork and enjoyment.
This will include:
- Planning sessions
- Teaching choreography
- Preparing the group for community events, performances and Bradford Bulls matchdays
The apprentice will also help deliver dance and multi-sports activities in schools and community settings, adapting sessions to meet the needs of participants and ensuring everyone has a positive and enjoyable experience.
Day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Preparing activities
- Setting up and putting away equipment
- Maintaining attendance records
- Completing general housekeeping duties to keep working areas clean, safe and organised
The apprentice will be expected to work effectively as part of the Foundation team while also using their initiative and working independently when required.
The role will involve building positive relationships with participants, families, schools and community partners, promoting activities and supporting the delivery of Foundation events and programmes.
Alongside practical coaching experience, the apprentice will complete structured training and assessments through Coach Core and Lifetime Learning. They will be expected to follow safeguarding, health and safety, equality and data protection procedures at all times.
