Do you have a background in sport and enjoy working with children and young people? Cover People are looking for Sports Coaches to support schools across Salford, with a range of flexible opportunities available.

These vacancies are primarily for day-to-day and short-term cover, making them well suited to coaches looking for flexibility or wanting to gain experience working in schools. Longer-term placements can also become available where schools require ongoing support.

Provide cover for PE lessons

Support lunchtime and after-school sporting activities

Encourage pupils to get involved and try new activities

You may work with pupils of different ages and abilities, so being adaptable and confident in a school environment is important.

Candidates with relevant experience working with children

A formal sports qualification is beneficial but isn't essential where you can demonstrate strong coaching experience and an ability to work effectively with young people.

We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, dependable and confident managing groups, with a genuine interest in helping pupils develop both on and off the sports field.

This is a great option for candidates looking for flexible work in schools without the commitment of a permanent role.
