Becoming a Coach Core apprentice is a chance to simultaneously earn money from working a real job, whilst also getting education that will result in an industry-recognised qualification. It can be the start of a lifetime in coaching, or the first step to any number of different roles in the sport & physical activity sector.

We are a nation-wide charity that places people like you with top-level employers in your region – from Premier league football clubs, dance organisations, youth clubs and everything in between.

All Coach Core apprentices receive:

• An employment placement
• A minimum salary of at least National Apprenticeship Wage
• Nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification
• Additional training and development opportunities
• Mentoring and support from experienced, dedicated staff
• Access to events and opportunities not seen on any other programme
• A commitment to work with you to find a positive exit route at the end of the programme

Your Qualification

• Community Activator Coach (Level 2)
• Community Sports & Health Officer (Level 3)

What to expect

The programme will last 15-18 months. You will be employed and paid for a minimum of 30 hours per week, and that will include your ‘education day’ – a day spent with your tutor and other Coach Core apprentices working towards your qualification.

We are looking for people who are:

• Available for full-time employment 30 hours a week for 15-18 months
• Have enthusiasm for teaching others and growing sport in your community
