GSL Education is seeking energetic and adaptable individuals with a background in sports, coaching, or physical activity to work in secondary school settings across Worksop. These roles are school-based and focus on supporting learning, behaviour, and classroom engagement rather than delivering sport.

This is a great opportunity for those looking to transition from sport into education, using coaching skills such as communication, structure, and motivation to support students in a classroom environment.

About the Role

Position suited to individuals from sports coaching or fitness backgrounds who are keen to work in education settings. You'll support students in lessons, assist teaching staff, supervise classes, and help maintain a positive, focused learning environment. Your sports background will be used to build rapport, encourage engagement, and support behaviour and structure across the school day.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support teaching staff with classroom learning and activities.
  • Supervise classes as part of cover supervision or learning support duties.
  • Use transferable coaching skills to engage and motivate students.
  • Support positive behaviour and encourage active participation in learning.
  • Help maintain a structured, safe, and supportive classroom environment.
  • Provide feedback to staff on student engagement and progress.
Requirements
  • Background in sports coaching, fitness, youth work, or similar roles.
  • Confident working with groups of young people in a structured setting.
  • Strong communication and behaviour management skills.
  • Adaptable, reliable, and professional approach.
  • Genuine interest in supporting education and student development.
  • Have the right to work in the UK.
  • Hold an up-to-date CV with two references from the last 2 years.
  • Have a DBS registered to the update service or be happy to apply for one with GSL Education.
