Why this role is different
Most coaching in this industry is paid by the session. We have built the clubs to the point where we can offer a salary and 34 to 40 hours a week. We're looking for people who want to help us raise the standard of youth coaching, putting our expertise together with yours so we get the best of both worlds.

- Contribute to player trials, onboarding and termly player reviews.
- Carry out related administration (parent communications, team organisation, attendance and session records).
- Deliver sessions at our holiday camps as part of the annual programme.
- Help build and shape our programme as the clubs grow.
- Hours: an average of 34 to 40 hours a week across the year, agreed at offer and built around the school calendar. Term time is mostly coaching (evening and weekend sessions, plus admin); school holidays are holiday camps, planning, admin and project work.
- Pay: £23,000 to £36,000 base salary, depending on experience and what you bring to the role.
- Bonus: performance-based pay on top of your base salary can take your total pay up to £45,000. Full details are agreed at offer stage.
- Contract: full time, permanent, with a 3-month probationary period.
- Location: sports hall venues across London, mainly North London.
What we expect

Next steps

- Offer and onboarding. If it's a fit, we'll offer you the full-time role, or another role that suits you better.
You can coach football, basketball or both, and there's a part-time option on the form if full time isn't for you right now.
