Flexible Part-Time Hours | School Term Time | Rochester, Tonbridge, Maidstone & Bromley, SE London
Can you watch a game of chess and quickly understand what each player is trying to do? Could you spot where a young player is going wrong and explain, in simple terms, how they could improve?
LearnChess Academy is looking for people with genuine chess knowledge to help children develop their game across Kent and South East London. Ideally, you will be a competent chess player, possibly rated; please explain your chess experience as a player, and if you have had the opportunity to coach or teach.
The role:
- This is more than teaching children how the pieces move.
- As a Chess Coach, you'll observe games, recognise mistakes and opportunities, understand a student's thinking and help them develop better decision-making, tactics and overall game awareness.
- We are looking for experienced Chess Coaches and Lead Coaches, but we also welcome applications from developing players interested in Assistant Coach/Coach Support positions.
The person:
- Have a strong practical understanding of chess, ideally around 1000+ ELO or equivalent playing ability.
- Be able to analyse a game and recognise tactical and positional mistakes.
- Understand why a move is strong or weak and explain this clearly to a young player.
- Be confident working with children of different ages and chess abilities.
- Create enjoyable, structured and engaging sessions.
- Have a full UK driving licence and be able to travel to local schools and venues.
- Hold a current First Aid qualification or be willing to complete training.
Still developing your chess knowledge? If you have a good understanding of the game but aren't ready to lead sessions independently, we'd still like to hear from you about Assistant Coach/Coach Support opportunities.
The Benefits:
- Flexible hours during school terms.
- Comprehensive coaching training and ongoing support.
- Online teaching resources and lesson materials.
- Branded uniform and coaching equipment.
- Opportunities for additional sessions and special events.
What's next:
If you understand chess beyond simply moving the pieces and would enjoy helping young players understand why moves work, we'd love to hear from you. An Enhanced DBS check, including the Children's Barred List, is required. LearnChess Academy will arrange subsequent renewals.
