Benefits

In This Role, Youll Be Responsible For Spear Centre Support

• You will form part of a central support team that enables Spear Centres to deliver high quality, high impact sessions to young people particularly when their Centre Manager is absent or in training.

Where this requires travel or overnight stays, the cost of these will be covered.

Delivery of Spear Programme

• Quickly building relationships with coaches at different levels and in different regions, as well as with young people, modelling and managing culture and attitudes both in the training room and beyond.
• Training coaches to adapt the Spear coaching material according to the needs of the trainees and manage behaviour effectively, and supporting Centre Managers and Lead Coaches to train new and more junior team members.

Active participation in and support for Resurgos team and mission

• Help build and develop Resurgos ethos and Christian life as a team member including leading and contributing to daily team prayer meetings as an integral part of Resurgos operation and for the success of its mission.

Personal Qualities We're Looking For

• Extensive previous experience of coaching and working with young people who face barriers to employment, as well as a desire to continue to use and further develop coaching skills.
• A positive attitude and a heart…
