Activities Leader (driving licence required)

Are you high energy? Fun? Good with people and super positive? That person who commands an audience?

If you are, we have a flexible and part-time role as a Sports Activity Leader to keep you busy and engaged!

We are recruiting people who are looking to deliver our revolutionary 'Adapted Seated Sports' sessions in the local community from a few hours a week up to 20.

This role is very popular amongst retired/semi retired professionals, parents looking for work within school hours, sports coaches & gyms instructors, drama students/performing arts students and anyone with confidence and pizazz.

So what is RISE?

Rise.Life aims to help vulnerable adults and children across Colchester, Tendring and Braintree with limited mobility, get active, have fun and improve their wellbeing and fitness through our unique ‘adapted seated sports’ programme, which enables people to experience the joy of games while playing and competing together.

As a Sports Activity Leader, you will be responsible for planning and leading various sporting activities for participants. You will provide instruction, guidance, and support to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Your creativity, communication skills, and ability to connect with others will be essential in creating a positive environment.

As these are seated adapted sports there is no need to be a ‘sporty’ person. The most important thing is your ability to lead sessions that provide a positive, fun and engaging experience.

• Ensure the safety and well-being of all participants during activities

Experience required for the Sports Activity Leader role:

• Previous experience in a care, sports or educational setting is preferred
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work well with individuals of all ages and backgrounds
• Knowledge of different activity types and techniques

Hours of work are typically between 10am to 5pm. As it stands we are looking to offer 5+ hours per week with a view to building up your hours to 20 per week.

Applicants must have their own transport and will be required to complete an enhanced DBS.
