Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom Aspira Eduction Full time £97 - £100 per year

£16.50 per hour | Full-time (5 days per week) | Free CPD-accredited training provided | Start date 17th November

Do you have a calm, confident presence and a natural ability to engage energetic children through movement and activity?

Are you motivated by making a difference for pupils who need structure, consistency, and an active approach to learning?

Aspira Education are recruiting a School Sports Coach to work with a Year 4 pupil with severe ADHD on a 1-1 basis in a primary school setting in Gainsborough. The pupil responds extremely well to movement breaks, outdoor activities, and sports-led strategies to help regulate attention and behaviour.

This is a 5 day per week placement working 8.30am – 3.30pm.

Please do not apply if you cannot commit to these hours Monday–Friday.

About the Role

As a School Sports Coach (Behaviour Support) you will:

  • Support the pupil 1-1, using sports, movement breaks, and structured activities to help regulate energy and re-engage with learning.
  • Build strong, trusting relationships through consistency, calm communication, and positive reinforcement.
  • Collaborate with teachers, SENCOs, and pastoral staff to maintain predictable routines and safe, supportive environments.
  • Help the pupil develop resilience, confidence, and a sense of achievement through active, hands-on strategies.
  • Work in an inclusive school environment where every day brings opportunities to make a real impact.

What We're Looking For

We welcome applicants from backgrounds such as:

  • Sports coaching, personal training, youth sports clubs, or outdoor activity leadership
  • Youth work, mentoring, residential care, or social care
  • Behavioural support, SEMH roles, or outreach work
  • Supporting energetic or neurodiverse young people in education or community settings

You don't need formal teaching qualifications or prior school experience, just the ability to stay calm under pressure, build rapport quickly, and use activity-based approaches to support behaviour.

All Applicants Must Have

  • The right to work in the UK
  • A clear fully Enhanced DBS (or be willing to apply through Aspira Education)
  • Two recent references
  • A willingness to complete free online safeguarding training provided by Aspira Education

What You'll Get
