Job Summary
Do you want to help make a difference by delivering and developing Denis Law Legacy Trust’s exciting projects?
We’re on the lookout for enthusiastic coaches who can play a key role in implementing the long-term strategy of a growing and fulfilling programme. Working in targeted areas of Aberdeen, our Streetsport programme supports and empowers young people to be confident, capable, independent and responsible citizens within their own communities through sport and creative activities.
A driving license is desirable for this role. Enthusiasm and motivational skills are a must, as is the ability to relate well to young people from various backgrounds. A history of adapting sessions in diverse environments such as schools, parks, astro pitches and carparks would be beneficial and having the experience of working in a team plus the ability to use your own initiative is also imperative. In short, you must have the energy, drive and confidence to help play a major role in Denis Law Legacy Trust’s delivery and therefore helping to ensure young people thrive.
Salary on appointment is £12.17 per hour. The working hours of the role are ad hoc and shifts occur on weekday evenings generally between 18:30 and 22:00 - varying from week-to-week depending on availability and operational demand. You will be expected to work between 2 and 8 hours per week.
