The role is a part-time post, with responsibility to deliver predominantly female-only physical activity sessions within Active Through Football targeted areas, which include, Whitleigh, Honicknowle, Devonport and Stonehouse.

The successful candidate would also have experience of mentoring individuals, supporting them in setting lifestyle/exercise improvement plans and offering pastoral support to participants as part of their wider development. A key element for the post is on-going community engagement and interaction with targeted communities.
