Job description
As a Gymnastics Coach, you will be responsible for leading engaging and educational gymnastics sessions to children at the club. This includes working with children towards their goals, in both gymnastics and social development, providing feedback to children on ways to improve their skills, varying coaching to adapt sessions to all learners in your group and keeping your gymnasts safe at all times.
We are looking for confident and enthusiastic individuals that are ready to further their coaching abilities in gymnastics. Whether you are British Gymnastics qualified or are new to the sport, we welcome all experience levels into our team. You will enjoy both working as part of our coaching team, and claiming responsibility over your own work, with you leading groups of your own dedicated gymnasts on all pieces of apparatus. There are many experiences to be had in your role, from working with fellow coaches to inspiring gymnasts to feeding back to parents/carers, so friendliness, commitment and flexiblity are desired qualities in all candidates.
Why work with us
Our mission is to help all children fall in love with gymnastics. To achieve this, we work hard allow children to thrive in the sport by delivering fun-filled yet informative sessions that improve the lives of young people. We place high-value on the welfare of our people, from coaches to gymnasts, and take extra effort to ensure that everyone involved in the club is happy with how we operate.
We are offering full-time and part-time work during school terms and one-week half term breaks, as well as additional optional working hours during major school holidays. Coaches may be eligible to participate in incentive schemes, receive free gymnastics tuition for themselves or their children, career development opportunities inside the club and funded British Gymnastics qualifications.
How we can support you and your coaching career
Upon starting with us, you’ll be supported through a training programme tailored to you. Our aim is to help uplevel your skills in the areas best for you, at your pace. If you already have coaching experience, you’ll be leading groups a faster than candidates without experience.
Our training programme will take you through all pieces of apparatus, assign you an experienced Gymnastics Coach as a mentor, and help you develop the skills that are crucial to working with young people. From here we have ample opportunities to develop your career as a coach and advance to more senior coaching positions, where you’ll oversee training programmes, mentor other coaches, and develop strategic goals for the gym.
