The Role

We’re looking for an enthusiastic person to join our successful team, who has an infectious passion for sport to engage and inspire young people, parents, teachers and community leaders. Experience of working in urban environments and working with young people, will be a distinct advantage.
The successful person will design and deliver coaching sessions in various environments including primary and secondary schools and within the community. They will also facilitate lifestyle workshops designed to educate young people on prevalent social issues in the city.
An ECB Level 2 or Core Coach cricket coaching qualification is a requirement of the role, however we are looking for a person with the ability to connect with young people and communities, so if you do not have a cricket coaching qualification all you need is a commitment to achieve it within a short period of time.
