Maintain positive relationships with parents and carers, providing feedback where appropriate.
Organise, prepare, and maintain sports equipment.
Contribute ideas for new sports, games, themed events, and holiday activities.

Health & Safety

Deliver sessions safely and in accordance with ELOSCN policies and procedures.
Carry out appropriate risk assessments and equipment checks.
Maintain the highest standards of safeguarding and child protection at all times.
