Job Description

Known as Red Tops, our Multi Sports Coaches lead and bring to life fun activities for children aged between 8 and 17. Each Multi Sports Coach is assigned their own group of 16 similarly-aged children and will lead and support them in a range of activity sessions, including (but not limited to) football, tennis, badminton, cricket and swimming – with each session typically lasting between 30 – 60 minutes.

Multi Sports Coaches will report to the Camp Manager and are encouraged to demonstrate ‘Active Coaching’ – providing high-energy, fun and inclusive activity sessions that get every child active and having fun, regardless of their ability.

Child safety is our number one priority so you’ll ensure that the welfare of children is paramount at all times, supervising children during breaks, participating in swimming sessions, overseeing the safe use of equipment, promptly recording any incidents, implementing behaviour management policies, and upholding health and safety standards and procedures.

As well as operating at some amazing school and university venues across the UK, we also work with other charities and organisations to offer Kings Camps across different partnerships.

Person Specification (Ideal, but with some flexibility)

We offer 3, 4 and 5 day experiences for children but we’re ideally looking for candidates to be available for the full season (Mon-Fri, between 8am and 5.30pm) with the exception of summer, where we ask for a minimum of 3 consecutive weeks.

At least 6 months’ experience working with children between 5 & 17 years

At least 3 months’ experience coaching sport or delivering active games

Vibrant, resilient, team player

Flexible and adaptable

Level 2 or higher qualification in:
Primary or Secondary Teaching;

Physical Education

Our Safeguarding Promise

Kings Active Foundation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Safer recruitment is central to the way we work and all staff and volunteers are expected to share our commitment to safeguarding, always creating an environment where young people feel safe and can thrive.

About us

Kings Camps are a market leading not-for-profit organisation offering sports and activity day camps at over 50 UK locations, getting children and young people active, having fun and learning together.
Founded in 1991, we were inspired by US-style summer camps. We decided that youngsters in the UK would love to experience school holiday camps too, and established a model which meant we could reach even more children through not-for-profit work in the UK and overseas.
Our coaches (we call them Red Tops) deliver high quality sports camps with an energy, passion and commitment to child development that we call the Kings Factor®.
