Youth Gym Coach
Location: FMG Project Gym, Brighton
Hours: Mon & Wed, 4-6:30pm (term-time only)
Pay: £20ph
Contract: Self-employed
About the role:
We are looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate and reliable Youth Gym Coach to join our team and deliver gym-based coaching programmes for vulnerable and disadvantaged young people.
Our programmes use physical activity, strength training and positive coaching relationships to help young people build confidence, develop healthy habits and improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

Who we’re looking for:
This role is open to all, but we are particularly keen to hear from female coaches for this particular role.
We currently have a male coach delivering our programmes and we are looking to build a more balanced coaching team. We believe that this helps to create a safe and welcoming environment for all young people, while ensuring that the young women we work with have access to positive female role models and feel more able to talk about the specific challenges that they might be facing.
We are looking for someone who:
- Has experience coaching, training or working with young people
- Is confident delivering gym-based exercise and strength training
- Can build positive relationships with young people from a wide range of backgrounds
- Is patient, empathetic and non-judgemental
- Understands the importance of safeguarding when working with young people
- Is reliable, professional and able to maintain appropriate boundaries
- Wants to make a genuine difference to young people’s lives
- Is passionate about helping young people develop confidence through physical activity
- A minimum of a Level 2 Gym Instructor Qualification (ideally Level 3 PT qualified).
