Looking for a role that genuinely makes a difference?
Some jobs are about earning a wage, others give you something much more rewarding.
At F6IT, every Saturday is an opportunity to help children and young people with additional needs experience the joy, confidence and sense of belonging that every child deserves.
Whether it's seeing a child take part in an activity they never thought possible, watching friendships develop, or helping families enjoy quality time together without barriers, this is a role where you'll leave every session knowing you've made a real difference.
If you're passionate about inclusion, enjoy leading people, and have experience supporting children and young people with additional needs and disabilities, we'd love to hear from you.
About F6IT
F6IT (pronounced fit) is a growing Surrey-based charity dedicated to creating inclusive recreational opportunities for children and young people with additional needs and disabilities.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to take part in fun, engaging and enriching activities regardless of the challenges they face.
Our sessions are carefully designed to create safe, welcoming environments where children can build confidence, develop independence, make new friends and simply enjoy being children.
At the same time, we provide families with the opportunity to connect with others who understand their journey, creating a genuine sense of community and belonging.
Our work changes lives, not through grand gestures, but through consistent, meaningful experiences that families look forward to every week.
The Opportunity
We're looking for an enthusiastic and organised SEND Activity Coordinator to lead the safe and successful delivery of our activity sessions across Surrey.
Based primarily at The Edge Leisure Centre in Haslemere, you'll also support sessions at our other accessible venues in Guildford and Ewhurst as required.
Working closely with our Operations Manager, coaches and volunteers, you'll become the key person responsible for ensuring every session runs smoothly, safely and professionally.
You'll be the reassuring face that welcomes families, the person volunteers can turn to for guidance and the leader who ensures every child enjoys a positive experience.
No two sessions are ever quite the same, and that's exactly what makes this role so rewarding.
Why You'll Love Working With Us
We're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term relationship with our charity, so we believe in looking after our team too.
As part of F6IT you'll benefit from:
- Competitive hourly pay of £15.00-£17.00
- Regular Saturday working with additional flexible hours during school holidays
- Job share opportunities available
- Potential for additional weekday administration hours
- Ongoing professional development and training
- Enhanced DBS provided
- Uniform provided
- Free onsite parking
- Mileage expenses between venues where applicable
- The opportunity to work alongside an incredibly supportive and passionate team
- The chance to genuinely improve the lives of children and their families every single week.
What You'll Be Doing
As the Session Lead, you'll take responsibility for the safe day-to-day running of F6IT activities.
This will include:
- Coordinating multiple activities taking place during each session
- Leading and supporting coaches, volunteers and activity partners
- Acting as the designated Safeguarding, First Aid and Manual Handling Lead during sessions
- Ensuring risk assessments and operational procedures are followed at all times
- Supporting children and young people throughout activities to ensure everyone feels included
- Building positive relationships with families and carers
- Monitoring participant wellbeing and responding appropriately where required
- Completing attendance registers and session reports
- Recording and reporting any incidents or safeguarding concerns
- Helping maintain equipment and ensuring venues remain safe and welcoming
- Supporting occasional administration tasks between sessions as required.
About You
We're looking for someone who combines compassion with organisation.
You'll be confident leading small teams while remaining approachable, calm and supportive.
Most importantly, you'll understand that every child is different and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to participate, succeed and enjoy themselves.
We're particularly keen to hear from people with experience working as a:
- Teaching Assistant
- SEND Teaching Assistant
- Learning Support Assistant
- Family Support Worker
- Children's Support Worker
- Youth Worker
- Activity Leader
- Sports Coach
- Residential Support Worker
- Play Worker
- Community Support Worker
You will have experience supporting children or young people with additional needs, alongside knowledge of safeguarding, manual handling and first aid (although ongoing training will be provided). Experience leading teams or coordinating activities would also be highly beneficial.
Why This Role Is Different
Many roles supporting children focus on education, others focus on care.
This role focuses on something just as important, creating opportunities - opportunities to have fun, build confidence, develop friendships, experience success.
To give families the chance to spend quality time together without worrying whether their child will be included.
Those moments matter.
They create lasting memories, increase confidence and improve wellbeing, not only for the children taking part but for their parents and siblings too.
As part of F6IT, you'll play an important role in making those moments happen.
This Role Could Be Perfect If you're a Teaching Assistant looking for additional weekend income. Perhaps you're working in care but want a more community-focused role. Are you returning to work after raising a family. Maybe you're studying education, psychology or therapy.
Or perhaps you're simply looking for a part-time role where you can genuinely see the impact of your work.
Whatever your background, if you're passionate about helping children and young people with additional needs thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
