Summary

TeacherActive are looking for Sports Coaches to join fantastic SEN and SEMH schools in the Bury area, supporting students with a range of complex needs, behavioural needs, and additional learning requirements.

The Role

As a Sports Coach, you will:

• Support small groups and 1:1 learners with a range of SEND needs (SEMH, ASD, ADHD, MLD, PMLD depending on school).

  
  

• Use sport, movement and activity to help regulate behaviour and build confidence.

  
  

• Lead structured activities as well as support PE lessons, break-time engagement, and classroom routines.

  
  

• Build positive, trusting relationships with students who thrive with strong role models.

  
  

• Work closely with teachers, TAs and behaviour teams to create a safe, encouraging and enjoyable learning environment.

  
  

  What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in sports coaching, youth work, outdoor education, mentoring or behaviour support.

    
    

  • Confident working with students who may display challenging behaviours.

    
    

  • Resilient, calm and able to adapt quickly.

    
    

  • A passion for helping young people reach their potential through sport.

    
    

  • A positive attitude and a genuine desire to make a difference.

    
    

    (Experience in a school or SEN setting is desirable but not essential – full guidance provided.)

    What You’ll Receive

    • A dedicated consultant supporting you through registration and placements.

      
      

    • Competitive daily pay and weekly pay with no umbrella fees.

      
      

    • Opportunities for long-term roles, permanent progression and specialist SEN training.

      
      

    • A chance to work in some of Manchester’s most supportive SEN and SEMH provisions.
