Key Stage One Coach
Key Stage One coaches are responsible for the specialist delivery of a high-quality and safe school-holiday experience for children aged 5-7. Working with another KS1 coach with a group of 16 children, or with a group of 8 children independently, you’ll hold specific responsibility for programme delivery and welfare for this age group. Key Stage One Coaches lead active games and fun sports sessions (30-45 mins each), whole camp activities and weekly events from a pre-designed timetable.
You’ll also ensure the welfare of children is paramount, ensuring children get regular breaks and toilet trips, participating in swimming sessions, overseeing the safe use of equipment, promptly reporting any concerns relating to children’s welfare and implementing behaviour management and safety procedures.
We deliver high quality sports camps with an energy, passion and commitment to child development that we call the Kings Factor® so you’ll be expected to be active and on your feet, modelling best practice and providing high-energy, fun and inclusive activity sessions.
