Experience in football, rugby, cricket, athletics, basketball, fitness or other sports would be welcomed.

A sports-related degree, coaching qualification or recognised coaching badge is desirable, although relevant experience working with children and young people will also be considered.

You should have good communication skills, confidence managing groups and a positive, professional approach.
