Whether you’re leaving retail, hospitality, or an office job — or returning to work after time out — transitioning into sports coaching with NOVUS is a move you won’t regret.
Why Change to Sports Coaching?
Many of our current team members came from other industries. They were looking for more meaning, a healthier lifestyle, and a way to feel proud of their work. Coaching in schools provides all of that — and more.
- You’ll be part of children’s growth and development
- You’ll get paid to stay active and move
- You’ll work school hours, term time only
- You’ll join a fun and supportive team
What It’s Like to Work as a Sports Lead
You’ll teach PE sessions in primary schools around Bristol, helping children learn core physical skills, build confidence, and enjoy being active. You might also run after-school clubs, lunchtime games, and enrichment sessions.
It’s hands-on, social, rewarding work — and we’ll support you every step of the way.
