Are you the kind of person who believes sport can change lives?
Someone who loves seeing young people find confidence, connection, and joy - often for the first time in a while?
We’re working with a brilliant Hampshire based sports provision supporting young people who thrive through movement, mentoring, and trust. This isn’t a school - it’s a local alternative sports provision that gives students a chance to reset and rebuild.
It’s a calm, caring environment where every day begins with a smile, a chat, and a sense of belonging. Where relationships come first and progress follows naturally.
They’re now looking for full-time Sports Mentors to join their small, dedicated team as soon as possible.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Supporting students aged 9–16 through 1:1 mentoring and light physical activity.
* Building trust, confidence, and emotional wellbeing through patience and consistency
* Starting each morning with a relaxed debrief, setting a positive tone for the day
* Encouraging independence - from making breakfast to choosing activities that spark joy
* Joining in with outdoor walks, fishing, gentle sports, or creative sessions
* Making the most of the incredible facilities at a local rugby and cricket club
What Makes Them Special
* A warm, family-style team who care deeply about the young people they support and each other
* A peaceful setting surrounded by open space and nature
* A relationship-led approach where young people are seen and supported, not pressured
* Opportunities for outdoor learning, wellbeing, and reflection
* Genuine mentoring, development, and investment in your growth
Who You Are
* You’ve got a background in sport, youth work, or mentoring - but most of all, you care
* You bring patience, humour, and empathy to everything you do
* You communicate calmly and connect easily with young people
* You believe small moments - a chat, a laugh, a goal scored can make a big difference
The Details
* Full-time from January 2026 (8:30am–3:30pm)
* £93 per day with a 12 week temporary to permanent pathway
* Free training, including Team Teach certification
* Supportive, reflective team culture - where you’re valued as much as the students
* Located on the outskirts of Southampton, close to the M3 with good transport links.
If you’d like to see what makes this setting so special, come and visit.
Grab a coffee, meet the team, and see the impact for yourself.
If you know someone who’d be perfect, refer them to us- we’ll pay you £100 once they’ve worked 10 days.
