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 not to create elite athletes or address physical inactivity, but 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 ensure that young people have ongoing access to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. 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 Sports Coach Mentor to lead our programme at Harris Girl's Academy East Dulwich. This role includes planning and delivering a comprehensive high-quality coaching and mentoring programme, which typically includes:
- Non-curricular breakfast, lunch, and after-school coaching sessions
- One-to-one or small group sessions (where agreed with the school)
- Regular competitive opportunities for all players
- 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 our work and quantify the difference we make to our young people. Data is collected at designated times throughout the year and includes case studies, questionnaires, and skills and fitness testing. Our coaches regularly review the young people's progress and set targets for their future development.
