North Lincolnshire Council is looking for people with a Level One sports Governing Body coaching qualification to help deliver more sports activities for young people in North Lincolnshire and who knows you could help coach future Olympic champions!
On Target and Street sport give young people the chance to take part in many sporting activities and provide them with opportunities to develop new social and leadership skills.
We need more sports coaches to meet the growing demand from young people who want to take part in a whole range of activities including rock-it-ball, street golf, dance, basketball, multisports and DJ workshops.
The sessions run Monday to Friday between 6pm and 9pm. But we want to expand to cover weekends too to meet demand.
If you would like to get involved and interested in casual employment opportunities or would like to volunteer but don’t have a Level One Sports Governing Body qualification, don’t let that prevent you from applying. We can provide training and support for you free of charge so that you can obtain one.
