Sports Coach apprenticeship

The role of a Level 4 Sports Coach Apprentice is a very important one in the life of the school.  It is expected that the Level 4 Sports Coach Apprentice will be approachable and friendly, but  firm in their dealings with children and working always in support of the staff. It is most  important that they take care not to become over-familiar with children and know when and  where to seek help if they discern a problem with any child. The Level 4 Sports Coach Apprentice should familiarise themselves with the ‘Amesbury  Behaviours and Attitude Framework’ document in order understand what we believe High  Performance looks like. This is a job that demands commitment and an interest in young children and has much to  commend it. The scope for individual initiative and specialisation is considerable within the  parameters of the School. To assist with sport and extra-curricular activities. While staff will be assigned to sports teams  as coaches, the Level 4 Sports Coach Apprentice will be given a lot of authority to take  responsibility for sports coaching under the direction of the Director of Sport, commensurate  on their ability and training. To attend induction and in-service training as determined by Deputy Head (Pastoral).
