Sports Coaches - Make the Move into Secondary Education

Are you a Sports Coach looking to take the next step in your career and gain experience working within secondary schools?

Cover People are actively recruiting Sports Coaches and Sports Graduates with UK-based experience working with children and young people to support a range of secondary school opportunities across Oldham and surrounding areas of Greater Manchester.

These roles are ideal for coaches who are looking to transition from the sporting environment into education. You don't necessarily need qualified teacher status or previous classroom teaching experience - what matters most is your ability to build positive relationships with young people, communicate confidently and use your coaching experience to motivate and support students.

We can offer flexible part-time and full-time opportunities, with roles including:

• PE Cover - supporting PE departments and delivering or assisting with PE lessons across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.
• Behaviour Support - using your coaching experience and positive approach to engage students who may struggle with behaviour, motivation or emotional regulation.
• Pastoral Support - working closely with students to develop confidence, resilience, attendance, engagement and positive relationships with school staff.
• Sports Intervention - using sport as a tool to engage students who may be disengaged from mainstream education or require additional support.
• General Cover - supporting secondary schools as a Cover Supervisor, supervising lessons and helping maintain a positive learning environment.

Why Sports Coaches Make Great Educators

Schools increasingly value the skills that experienced Sports Coaches can bring into education. Your experience of motivating young people, managing groups, setting expectations and developing positive relationships can translate extremely well into a secondary school environment.

You may already have experience working with young people through football, rugby, athletics, fitness, swimming, basketball or another sporting discipline. Whether you're looking to build classroom experience, explore a career in teaching or simply want a more flexible role working with young people, we have opportunities to suit different backgrounds and experience levels.

One current opportunity is with a Good-rated secondary school in Oldham, which is highly regarded for its community-focused approach and commitment to supporting disadvantaged students and their families.

The school is particularly interested in relatable, confident Sports Coaches who can use their sporting background to engage students and provide positive intervention when students become emotionally dysregulated or disengaged from learning.

Why Work Through Cover People?

We understand that moving from sport into education can be a big career step, which is why our consultants provide ongoing support throughout your placement.

You can benefit from:

• Flexible part-time and full-t
