Sports Coaches - Get into Education! in Bristol

Have you worked in sports coaching, mentoring, youth work or another role where you've supported and motivated young people?Protocol Education is working closely with welcoming primary schools across South Bristol who are looking for confident, energetic and positive individuals to bring their transferable skills into the classroom.

This isn't a coaching role.

Instead, it's an opportunity to use the skills you've developed through working with children and young people, such as communication, relationship building, behaviour management, resilience and motivation, to support pupils in their education.

Schools highly value people who can build trust quickly, encourage confidence, promote teamwork and help children stay engaged.

If you've helped young people overcome challenges, develop new skills or achieve personal goals, you could have exactly the qualities schools are looking for.

You'll work alongside teachers and support staff, helping pupils to stay focused, participate in learning and build the confidence they need to succeed both academically and socially.

Why Your Experience Matters Through coaching, mentoring or working with young people, you've likely developed skills including: Building positive relationships and trust Encouraging confidence and resilience Managing behaviour positively and consistently Adapting your approach for different personalities and abilities Motivating individuals and groups Communicating clearly and effectively Supporting emotional wellbeing and personal development These are all highly sought-after skills within schools.
