Volleyball Coach Mentor

Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports is a youth charity specifically using sport to support social change. Sport is our hook to engage young people and one of the vehicles through which we support youth development. Our purpose is to create opportunities for young people to recognise their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future. We work across London, Portsmouth, and Leicester, specifically in areas of high deprivation.

We embed evidence‑based positive youth development programmes into primary and secondary schools. These programmes are delivered by our trusted, high‑quality coach‑mentors who deliver year‑round to ensure that young people have ongoing access to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. The result of this work is that every year, Greenhouse Sports supports over 9,000 young people to attend school more often, improve their wellbeing, and raise their aspirations, transforming life chances in the communities that need us the most.

The Role: We are looking to recruit a qualified, skilled Volleyball Coach Mentor to lead our programme. The role will be based at Harris Girl's Academy East Dulwich and will include planning and delivering a comprehensive high‑quality coaching and mentoring programme. Our programmes typically include a combination of non‑curricular breakfast, lunch and after‑school coaching sessions, one to one or small groups sessions (where agreed with the school) and develop regular competitive opportunities for all players. You will also be required to deliver half term and holiday camps during the school holidays.

As a coach mentor, you will work closely with the Impact Team to collect high‑quality data to demonstrate the effectiveness of what we do and to quantify the difference we make to our young people. Data is collected at designated times throughout the year and includes case studies, questionnaires, skills and fitness testing. Our coaches also regularly review the young people's progress and set targets for their future development.
