About Sports Coach

Dear prospective applicant,
In the top 12% of schools nationally, Crown Hills Community College blends a 70-year history of inclusive education with an innovative, forward-looking approach to providing a state education like no other to 1,500 students from inner city backgrounds.
The School now seeks to appoint an exceptional Sports Coach to work alongside the Deputy Head of Faculty to lead our Sports Academy. This is an exciting position within the PE faculty with opportunities to shape the vision and direction of the Sports Academy as well as deliver lessons within the curriculum and support our extra-curricular activities.
This post is term-time and permanent and as a member of staff at Crown Hills Community College you will receive a number of other benefits. These include a work laptop, continuing professional development, health Insurance, no emails at the weekend or after 8pm, administrative support, 24 hours a day/365 days a year phone
counselling service, and a Cycle to Work scheme.
In the last 5 years, we have introduced our Sports Academy with the intention of providing a performance pathway in three sports - cricket, badminton, and fencing. In Fencing, we compete and have medalled at the National Championships, including a bronze medal after beating one of the top fee-paying independent schools in the country. We also compete in county and regional badminton and cricket competitions. Pupils within the Sports Academy receive specialist coaching, mentoring, and fitness training. Running the mentoring programme is a key responsibility of this post. This supports in raising pupils' aspirations - alongside visits to elite fixtures, FE/HE partners, and visiting coaches/speakers. Sports Academy pupils' commitment and achievements are celebrated through t-shirts, blazer badges, and our annual sports awards evening, where existing members also
welcome new performers to the Academy.
The role also offers time to work with teachers and all pupils in physical education lessons, both through providing support and leading lessons as required. We have an extensive extra-curricular programme - as part of the working hours the successful sports coach will lead activities and accompany teams to fixtures and events. This
post provides an excellent opportunity for gaining in-school experience, with a comprehensive programme of professional learning available within the PE faculty to support the post-holder in developing their delivery of PE.
Crown Hills is committed to PE, school sport, and physical activity and is the lead school for Inspire Together (formerly SSPAN). This is made up of 127 schools across Leicester and the aim is to go beyond school sport, and to have a positive impact on the young people in Leicester, their families and their communities.
We are looking to appoint a Sports Coach with a professional manner, personal credibility and demonstrable experience in coaching sport. If your coaching expertise lies outside of our Sports Academy sports, please indicate in your application how your area of strength would contribute to PE and school sport at Crown Hills

We welcome applicants from a coaching or educational background across the private and public sector. Outstanding communication and inter-personal skills to build strong relationships with pupils, staff, and parents are essential, as is a deep commitment to the school's aims and values.
