Facilities jobs in United Kingdom

GLL, the UK’s largest leisure provider and one of the first and largest leisure social enterprises, is looking for Gymnastics Coaches based at Barnet Copthall Leisure Centre for our lessons and courses for children.

A Gymnastics Coach is a highly rewarding role as a key player in the 2012 Olympic legacy, and in turn, our gymnastics courses are more popular than ever. You would be a passionate gymnastics coach who lives and breathes gymnastics and wants to share that passion with your pupils and colleagues alike. Our gymnastics coaches are good all-rounders, and you’ll also specialise in any of a number of disciplines that we teach such as men’s and women’s artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, and acrobatic.

As an experienced gymnastics coach, you’ll be qualified to Level 1, 2, or 3. You’ll thrive on seeing others develop, and as your courses and lessons will be your own to lead and plan, you’ll influence their success and growth. Ensuring the lessons are enjoyable, you’ll be able to think on your feet and be creative with the facilities around you, while still making sure that your pupils are constantly observed and kept safe. Due to our size and scale, there will be plenty of hours available for you to coach, and the bigger our courses get, the more opportunity there will be to further develop your career with us. We invest in our people as well as our facilities and we aim to upskill and progress people throughout their time with us.

What you need:

• A real focus on customer service.
• Passion and personality.
• Knowledge of health and safety.
• Be a great team player.
• Qualified at Level 1, 2, or 3. However, training can be given for those that would like to become gymnastics coaches.

What you’ll do:

• Setting up equipment.
• Deal with customer queries.
• Teach high-quality gymnastics at a variety of levels.
• Deliver lessons that are safe, fun, and progressive.
• Safe coaching and supporting skills.
• Complete registers and assessments of participants using GLL IPods.
