Sport and Faith Coach - Gloucester City

Fluff it. Duff it. Score it. Smash it. Whatever you do, just give it a go.

That’s our motto for sport and for life. We’re for jumping right in and going on new adventures together, as a team.

We believe that being more active, like the Christian faith, can change people’s lives forever. And so we’re here to get everyone moving and show them that things are a lot more fun when we’re kicking, diving, riding, rolling, running and jumping around together.

Will you join us?

At the core of the role we’re looking for a Sport and Faith Coach who will help us to deliver grass root expressions of the Sportily vision in a number of communities within the City of Gloucester, while also supporting our ongoing work in Hunts Grove.

Building on pilot work we’ve undertaken in the area, such as in Coney Hill, Tredworth, Hucclecotte and Brockworth, you’ll run an exciting range of community and school-based sport and physical activity provision for children and young people in the context of their families and their communities. To find out more about Sportily our vision and what you’d get up to, please download the job pack.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about sport and physical activity and exploring faith with children, young people and their families and leading emerging Christian communities. Are you someone who isn’t afraid to try new things, to think differently and help us to do that too as we undertake this journey together?

We are particularly interested in those with experience of working in similar areas to Gloucester City and with those who experience the greatest barriers to accessing sport and physical activity.

For the first-timers, the can’t catchers and the kick it outers.
For the slam dunkers, the back of the netters and the hole in oners.
We bring the energy that gets you moving.

Salary: £26,000 - £27,500

If having read our Job Pack, this role and our vision is something that excites you and you believe that you have the skills, experience and motivation required, we would very much like to hear from you. Applications must be made on our application form.
