Job description

Teacher Active is seeking passionate and experienced Sports Coaches to work with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Southampton and the surrounding areas.

As a Sports Coach and Mentor, you will do more than lead physical activity sessions; you will inspire, guide, and support young people who have faced unique challenges in their lives. Through inclusive and engaging sports sessions, you will help students build confidence, teamwork, and resilience, tailoring your approach to meet the individual needs of those with SEND, including autism (ASD), social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), severe and profound learning difficulties (SLD/PMLD), emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD), and ADHD.

We are looking for passionate, energetic coaches who believe in the power of sport to change lives. You will work within supportive SEND and alternative education settings that recognise how sport can boost emotional, social, and behavioural development while acting as a mentor and positive role model who helps each young person realise their potential.

In return, you will receive ongoing professional development, flexible working opportunities, and the chance to grow within a values-driven team that is dedicated to making a lasting difference through sport. If you are ready to lead, inspire, and mentor the next generation, we would love to hear from you.

The successful Sports Coach LSA will have:

• Be patient, calm, and empathetic.
• Be open to learning and committed to making a positive impact.
• Be comfortable working with children with SEND and challenging behaviour.
• Be able to build rapport with students and help them feel safe and supported.
• Driving is highly desirable due to the location and nature of the role.
• Experience in an education or care setting is a bonus, but not essential.

In return for the above you can expect to receive:

• A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to help you with the easy onboarding process.
• Guaranteed Payment Scheme Terms and Conditions apply.
• CPD Courses and certificates as part of the My-Progression channel.
• Market leading rates of pay.
• Teacher Active Referral Scheme Receive up to £100 when you refer a friend Terms and Conditions apply.

Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you are paying the right level of TAX and National Insurance and there is no messing around with admin charges coming out of your hard earned cash.
